Study Figure 7, which shows an ecotourism lodge and canopy walkway in the Danum Valley, Borneo.

Figure 7: An ecotourism development in Borneo. The photograph shows a canopy walkway made of suspended wooden planks with strong rope netting sides, connected between tall, undisturbed tropical hardwood trees. In the background, small tourist lodges built from locally-sourced bamboo and timber are integrated into the forest understory, with solar panels mounted on their roofs. The surrounding dense rainforest vegetation remains intact, showing no signs of land clearance or heavy machinery.

Suggest two ways that ecotourism may help the sustainable management of this area of tropical rainforest. Use evidence from Figure 7 in your answer.
