NO WEB/NO APPS - Exclusive. (Text available) A woman is streching out dried lianas to make hand-crafted products, in 'Palma Real' native community, near Puerto Maldonado, Peru on July 17, 2017. The Amazon rainforest is famous as ‘The Lung of the Earth’, but also for the presence of numerous native communities, who have always lived isolated and in close contact with nature for generations, used to seek for food and medicines and to build items directly from the environment in which they live. The unstoppable rise of globalization has drastically changed their needs, expectations and consequently their way of life. Located in the Tambopata National Reserve, on the border between Peru and Bolivia, the native Comunidad Palma Real is one of the clearest examples of this change. Living on the banks of the Madre de Dios River since approximately 1976, Palma Real comprises about 300 people part of the nomadic community Ese-Eja, established in the Amazon rainforest of Peru before the Spanish colonization.
