People of The Rainforest

I n the world today, modern cities, where people have electricity and markets, are everywhere. It is so common that people, especially the younger ones, have forgotten about the indigenous people who are still living in the rainforests with the most primitive technology. The indigenous people have been around many many years, far too long that no one knows for sure how or when these original inhabitants of the rainforests got there, but we do know they are moving towards extinction.

Scientists have estimated that there might be almost a thousand or more forest groups around the world that are critically endangered. In 1900, Brazil had 1million Indians or indigenous people, yet today, there are less than 200,000. It has been estimated that more than 87 tribes have been killed off in Brazil since 1900, almost 1 tribe every year.

Even today, much is not known about the indigenous people that live deep in the huge rainforests, such as those in Papua New G . Their spiritual beliefs, their medical knowledge, and their way of surviving in the harsh environment of the rainforest is still a big mystery to researchers. In the next section, we will focus on the way of live and the unique cultures of these special people.
