Agro-forestry
The combination of farming and forestry. Farmed
on the edge of forests, strips of trees felled.
They can then farm and gather the forests
resources.

Strip logging
Logging still occurs but by local people. Logs
are cut in strips. Only selected trees are logged
so damage to surroundings are minimal.
