A platoon of special ops are tasked to parachute into the remote Burmese jungle and destroy a strategic Japanese radar. Myanmar (Burma) is perhaps the most devoutly Buddhist nation on earth, with a dizzying array of golden pagodas and ancient temples, perched in splendid isolation on hillsides and sandwiched. BBC - Human Planet Explorer. Tropical rainforests may cover only two per cent of the planet’s surface but they’re home to half of all its species, including humans. Nevertheless, surviving in this hostile environment demands both skill and an intimate understanding of the jungle ecology. The main impediments to survival in the jungle is not a lack of edible species, but the fact that most of the things you might want to eat live high in the canopy, 3. As a result, securing enough meat for dinner can be a constant struggle and rainforest- dwellers must develop an extensive knowledge of the plants and animal around them. In Brazil, the Matis tribe use blowpipes to shoot their prey with poison darts. They make the darts poisonous by mixing the deadly sap of the curare vine with assorted parts of other plants, creating a missile with extraordinary killing power. And unlike shot guns, blowpipes are almost silent so a single party of hunters can bring down a whole troop of monkeys, one by one, without them even noticing.

While a few groups across the tropics are still nomadic, others are moving towards an increasingly settled existence, partly because of increased pressure on their lands. Since the 1. 98. 0s various Penan groups, both settled and nomadic, have campaigned against the logging that has devastated their habitat.
