A government plans to make an area of tropical rainforest into a national park.

  • Local people currently earn money by cutting down trees for timber and by clearing the forest to grow oil palms.

  • The forest contains over 200 species of tree and is home to an endangered species of orangutan.

  • Ecotourism could bring 15 000 visitors each year to the park.

  • Part of the forest crosses the border into a neighbouring country.

Evaluate the benefits and challenges of making this forest into a national park.
