funding is needed by the government, private organizations, etc.
People want this reserved land for industrial purposesTrees to make paper
productsLand for agricultureLand to build cities
Solutions/Controversies
Buffer ZonesAn inner core of area
protected by a reserved surrounding it
These are established protected areas between isolated reservesHelp support more
species and allowing migration
Centers for evolution
