Native peoples of the rainforest
Many
native peoples have called the rainforest home for hundreds and thousands of
years. They have valuable knowledge of the rainforests, and they have
taught us about many of the medicines and foods we use today. They know
how to find and use wild plants and how to farm small crops in a sustainable
manner. Traditionally, they live in harmony with the forest and the plants
and animals.
