Deep in the most remote jungles of South America, Amazon Indians are
using Google Earth, Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping, and other
technologies to protect their fast-dwindling home. Tribes in Suriname,
Brazil, and Colombia are combining their traditional knowledge of the
rainforest with Western technology to conserve forests and maintain ties
to their history and cultural traditions, which include profound
knowledge of the forest ecosystem and medicinal plants.
