How do you save a tree with the full ring of the bark removed?
You don't. Actually, it is possible to save a girdledtree, but action has to be taken very quickly - though success is not guaranteed.
I went to an Ag school that had an infamous "Ginkgo Lane". Most of the trees were female and produced very smelly berries. Freshman were made to walk down Ginkgo Lane while crossing from one side of campus to the other. One year, someone girdled the trees. The trees were saved by grafting - taking strips of bark and creating bark bridges across the gap. I don't know the exact method, but the school had excellent Horticulture and Ornamental Horticulture departments. See Related Links. Lets get real here. It is possible to bridge graft a ringed tree but it is not practical for the amateur,if it is a mature tree the recovery time will be long. If it is a young tree it would be quicker to replant. This it the trouble with too much theory. The University of Life reigns supreme.

Why is it difficult for an organisms living in the rain forest to become a fossil?
Things tend to decompose in a warm and moist environment. Mummification/fossilization typically happens in either very cold climates, very dry climates, or both. Since the rain forest is both warm and damp, decomposition typically happens very quickly.
