Regional Costumes
Traditional garments such as the red and the green stocking cap of the Alentejo cattleman still exist and the samarra (a short jacket with a collar of fox fur) still survive.
Regional costumes can also be seen in the northern Minho province at weddings and other festivals. Women dress in extremely colourful and rich costumes, often in red and white, and wear several long ornate gold necklaces, covering their heads with a scarf.
In Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro shepherds wear straw cloaks, while the wearing of black for protracted periods of mourning is common especially in villages in the interior of Portugal.
In Madeira, the regional dresses can often be seen at local markets and flower stalls.

Belize's population has adapted to use the tropical rainforest and the waters in order to survive in the harsh environment.
Explanation:
Belize is a small country that is cover with dense, tropical rainforest. It comes out on the Caribbean Sea, and it is a country that is abundant with rivers and streams. The tropical rainforest is a very tough place for living, especially if the lifestyle of the population is not of primitive type, so the people are almost exclusively settled along the coastline.
The tropical rainforest is used as a natural, free, high producing garden of fruits, but also lot of plants used for medicine. The people also tend to hunt a lot, as there is an abundance of animals. The primary source of resources though are the rivers and the sea, where the majority of the population is involved in fishing and gathering sea plants.
