Indigenous people of the Amazon fostered palm forests‚ groves of Brazil nuts and fruit trees‚ and vine forests near ancient Amazonian settlements. Environmentalists could argue that rainforests can be “saved” by through the restriction of economic growth‚ but it is vital to realize that the local communities will not approve parks and reserves‚ as it is in their interest to conserve the rainforest.

Consequently without the cambium rings‚ it is difficult to tell the age of these species trees. Since trees have an s As told in the Holy Bible‚ “And the Lord God made all
