Here is a well merging of Amazon Indians’ traditional knowledge of the rainforest with Western technology. The goal behind it is not only to conserve forests, but also help the most remote jungles’ Amazon Indians to maintain ties to their history and cultural traditions – thus to protect their fast-dwindling home.
It is with the help of Google Earth, Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping, the South America, Amazon Indians are gaining profound knowledge of the ecosystem of the forest and medicinal plants.
The Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) — a nonprofit organization – is working with these indigenous people to help and aware them on how to conserve biodiversity, health, and culture in South American rainforests.
