It sounds like a dumb answer, but the TRPA is govern authority to put fines on businesses who fail to reach the quota.
I don't think you will be able to enforce that. Also timber is an important economical export for many NS developing nations. This can hurt them dearly and/or the poor farmer that use the wood.

Again, RL =/= NS. (And Araraukar is mostly tropical rain forests, except for the mountainous north. We already have strict policies about protecting the non-urban areas, though. Humans come in second, after environmental concerns.)

How is a nation covered in rain forests any different than a nation covered in any other forest? What drives you to make a statement such as that?
(As has been pointed out, NS =/= RL. NS =/= Brazil. NS =/= the Amazon.)

I understand your concerns, but over the long run protecting tropical rainforests and the stability of the climate may be more advantageous economically.

The Scientific States wrote:The Tropical Rainforest Preservation Act
Description: The General Assembly
Recognizing tropical rainforests asareforests characterized by high rainfall, home to many unique eco systems with a variety of creatures,andflora and fauna.
Aware that tropical rainforests play a crucial role in maintaining a stable climate by absorbing and encapsulating vast amounts of CO2.
Believing that the preservation of tropical rainforestsareis beneficial because they absorb vast quantities of carbon dioxide.
Further Believing that tropical rainforests are home to millions of different species, and contain many beneficial aspects to help the Global Climate.
Concerned that continued degradation will tip the balance and transform them from carbon sinks into carbon sources, thus increasing the rate of global warming.
Believing that tropical rainforests, through their biodiversity and absorption of vast amounts of carbon dioxide, often play a crucial role in maintaining a stable climate on a planetary level.
Further concerned that the practice of slash-and-burn agriculture destroys vast swaths of tropical rainforests each year.
Noting that tropical rainforests may contain as yet undiscovered plant specieswho'swhose potential medicinal properties may lead to important advances in medical science.
Further Noting that tropical rainforests are home to many hunter-gatherer tribeswho'swhose lives and lifestyles are threatened by deforestation and contact with diseases that they have no immunity towards.
Worried that continued destruction of the world's tropical rainforests will rob science of the chance to fully study this environment and its potential contributions to medicine.
Further Concerned That there has yet been a WA resolution to conquer the atrocities of tropical rainforest deforestation, which include extinction of animals,displaciondisplacement of native residents, and drastic environmental consequences that aren't limited to changes of Eco-systems and droughts,
Defining the following terms:
a. Tropical rainforest – a forest ecosystem characterized by mean annual temperatures above 24 °C and annual precipitation greater than 800 cm;
b. Slash-and-burn agriculture – an agricultural technique which involves cutting and burning of forests or woodlands to create fields.
Hereby establishes The Tropical Rainforest Protection Agency, which is dedicated to preserving large areas of rainforests from certain business practices, as well as managing industries use of rainforests regarding cutting down trees for paper and timber,
The Tropical Rainforest Protection Agency creates and enforces the following rules,
1. Mandates that tropical rainforest areas be given national park or equivalent status, with all the protection that entails.
2. Bans the use of slash-and-burn techniques in rainforest areas in WA nations.
3. Also bans the exploitation of oil, natural gas or any other mineral resources in the tropical rainforests of WA nations.
4. Exempts indigenous tribes from those provisions that would lead to the destruction of their lifestyles.
5. Strongly encourages nations to seek the development of new and more sustainable agricultural techniques that can improve the lives of farmers living in or around tropical rainforest areas.
6. Authorizes the TRPA to:
- conduct inspections of national tropical rainforests in order to determine the state of said rainforests
-impose quotas or bans on certain types of timber that is obtained from tropical rainforests
-make these quotas dependent on the reforestation of an equal or greater surface of land formerly classified as tropical rainforest
-levy fines on national and private entities that fail to comply to the terms of this resolution
