The daily lives of the rainforest people

as roofs to their huts. Tribes catch their food by killing fish, using plant-based poisons to stun the fish. Some tribes use shotguns for hunting, others use bows and arrows, spears, or blowguns with darts tipped with curare. Shifting cultivation is an agricultural system in which plots of land are cultivated temporarily, and then abandoned. This system often involves clearing of a piece of land followed by several years of wood harvesting or farming, until the soil loses fertility. Once the land becomes inadequate for crop production, it is left to be reclaimed by natural vegetation, or sometimes converted to a different long-term cyclical farming practice. Subsistence agriculture is self-sufficient farming in which farmers grow only enough food to feed their family and to pay taxes or feudal dues. The typical subsistence farm has a range of crops and animals needed by the family to eat during the year. People in tribes consume a daily balance of protein, they would normally eat, acorns, salmon, surf fish, abalone, mussels, bulb plants, deer and small game as rabbits or monkeys. The lives of the rainforest people are completely different to ours they don’t use electricity, they kill there own food, they were animal skin , and they have lots of different ways of surviving the rainforest, they have completely different ways of living.
