Forest-Dwelling Communities
Forest-dwelling communities are groups of people who live in or near forests. These communities often rely on the forest for their livelihoods, using its resources for food, shelter, and medicine. They may practice sustainable agriculture, hunting, and gathering, ensuring that the forest remains healthy for future generations.
Many forest-dwelling communities have rich cultural traditions and knowledge about their environment. They often have a deep understanding of local ecosystems and biodiversity, which helps them manage resources wisely. Some well-known examples include the Amazonian tribes in the Amazon Rainforest and the indigenous peoples of the Sundarbans.
