520 _aThe article focuses on a number of projects being carried out by the local inhabitants which utilize the rainforests of Central America in a sustained manner. The Lacandon Maya, a rainforest Indian group in Chiapas, Mexico, for example, practice a multi-layered cropping system that combines up to 75 crop species in single ha plots surrounded by rainforest. After 7 years, fruit trees are planted on the sites and the fruit harvested until the jungle finally overcomes the fruit trees. The cycle is then repeated.
