Summary:
Rosario Costa-Cabral and her brothers harvest hundreds of fruits, oils and wood products from the stream-laced forest of the Amazon River delta. They also are helping the rainforest to regenerate, even as they cultivate a living from its diversity. But the climate here is changing: Tides rise higher, and seasonal floods are growing worse. An Earth Institute-led project is looking at how they are adapting.Content analysis:
