Living in the Amazon is not easy. The hot, humid climate can lead to health issues, and access to medical care is often limited. Transportation is difficult, with many communities only reachable by boat. Modern development, including deforestation and oil extraction, threatens both the environment and traditional ways of life. Additionally, access to education and economic opportunities can be limited in remote areas.
Indigenous communities have developed sustainable ways of living, such as using traditional farming techniques to maintain soil fertility. Many build houses on stilts to protect against flooding, while canoes and other boats remain essential for transportation. Communities also engage in eco-tourism and sustainable harvesting of rainforest products to balance tradition with economic opportunity.
