Trail 2 - Hunting in the Rainforest

Most rainforest people HUNT and FISH in the forest to feed their families. They use blowpipes, fishing spears or bows and arrows to hunt birds, monkeys, rodents and fish.

 



Rainforest people are HUNTER-GATHERERS, which mean they move from place to place to find food.

Many forest people believe that animals have a SPIRIT, which will be angered if the animal is killed cruelly or for the wrong purposes. Killing animals is therefore done with respect, following the customs of the tribe.
