There are numerous tribes in the Amazon Rainforest that have been living and thriving off the land for centuries. These tribes have unique cultures, traditions, and languages that they are proud of preserving. Although there have been some attempts to integrate these communities into modern society, many choose to remain isolated and maintain their traditional way of lives. The Yanomami tribe is one such example which practices hunting and gathering techniques, builds homes from natural materials, and holds deep spiritual beliefs about the forest’s importance to their lives. However, a major challenge facing indigenous people is deforestation caused by logging companies encroaching on their ancestral lands, which leads to a loss of habitat for wildlife and human suffering. Nonetheless, initiatives aimed at protecting these tribes’ rights continue to spring up globally.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
