| Summary: | In one hectare of forest, 82% of the species & 95% of the individual trees are utilized by the Chacobo for food, fuel, medicine, poisons, & other useful products. This ethnoecological study further supports the thesis that forest destruction goes further than the mere cutting down of trees -it can result in the permanent loss of valuable information |
