Question

Rainforest deforestation generally has a positive impact on indigenous tribes and peoples. true or false

Answer 1

This is FALSE.

Rainforest deforestation puts in danger the existence of indigenous tribe.

The biggest rainforest area is situated in the Amazonas, Brazil. The uncontacted Brazilian tribes, some of them are the last on earth, depend on large areas of virgin forest land to hunt animals and gather the different kinds of food they need every day to survive.

Many people from uncontacted tribes were forced to come out of the jungles and mingled with people from society due to threats from loggers. They are susceptible to diseases because they have no immunity, causing death to most of them.

Answer 2

This is very false!

The indigenous tribes typically live in the forests (in the Amazon Jungle) - and deforestation means that their living space is being limited and they don't have as many resources as before. This forces many indigenous peoples to move to cities and loose their culture.
