Whilst managing biodiversity different strategies must be used to ensure the appropriate outcome is made. Usually a balance must be made between economic sustenance and environmental cost. This is because people use biological resources. NGO’s, IGO’s and Governments such as WWF and the Wet Tropics Management Authority and other organisations are made to ensure the protection of wildlife, rehabilitate areas which have been severely degraded due to human activity such as climate change and promote sustainable business and environmental education. Biosphere reserves is a management strategy similar to the 1960’s approach of total protection in which whole areas of biological significance are fenced off from the public. However Biosphere reserves take a wider approach to what must be sustained whilst protecting the ecology. Economic development focussed on local people is integrated within biodiversity conservation by using strategies such as ecotourism, tolerant forest management and extractive research. The Wet Tropics Management Authority, Douglas Shire Council and the Rainforest Cooperative Research Council are all organisations taking steps to protect and restore the Daintree Tropical Rainforest biodiversity in north eastern Australia. The Douglas Shire Council are gradually trying to reduce thehuman population in Daintree by rejecting plans to build a bridge across to mainland Australia and also increase costs of Ferries across to the island. This has not been successful at decreasing the number of tourists which has meant that over 500,000 people visit the rainforest every year. Some of which partake in activities which are harmful to the environment such as fishing, 4-wheel drive tours and reef diving which leads to disturbance and destruction of habitats for many valuable endemic species. However the increased cost of accessing the wildlife reserve has meant that
