To the Mbuti Pygmies of Africa, the Pesch of Latin America, and other peoples around the world, the forest is home. More than just a place to live, the forest provides their basic needs. By comparing and contrasting different forest peoples, both past and present, students can learn about some of the ways people have depended on forests throughout history.
