Sustainable agro forestry development in the indigenous community Piaroa of Gavilán in the Amazon state, Venezuela
Traditionally, indigenous populations of the Venezuelan Amazon, which were mostly nomadic until a few decades ago, applied ancestral agricultural techniques that helped preserve the forest due to their seasonal rotation.
Today, most of those formerly nomadic communities have settled permanently. They continue to grow their produce in fixed locations resulting in significant land degradation in some areas, and mass shelling of trees in others.
