You can donate to charities that directly purchase rainforest. Rainforesttrust.org is one. They can purchase an acre of land for around 10 dollars.

Right now the main issue is that last year they only received 15 million in donations. Not nearly enough to stop the problem.

Having looked into it only briefly, how are these "owned" acres policed?

The article says that people are illegally clearing land they don’t own.
