The Population Expert - Native Americans in the Amazon




For thousands of years, the Amazon rainforest has been a home to Native Americans. There are over 50,000,000 tribal people living in world's rainforest.
The people need the forest to find there food and shelter.
When we cut trees and rainforest down we are also killing people.

Many rainforest people grow just enough food to feed their whole village.
Although most rainforest people grow crops, they can also
find food in forests.
Hunting and fishing provides them with a wide range of meats.

To most people who live outside the rain forest the amazon is an exotic place full of strange and wonderful plants and animals. But the trees have a very important part to play in our lives. They recycle our air and help with the climate around the world.
