These cocoa trees are a good home for rainforest animals. You can see the cocoa pods on the ground.
Cocoa farms grown in the shade of the rainforest canopy provide a great habitat for wildlife. These types of crops, grown in the forest without cutting down the trees that shade them, are a good way to grow things like cocoa because they leave habitat for the rainforest animals. The cocoa trees seen here are grown in the shade, and are harvested by the Chachi Indians. The Chachi want to continue growing cocoa in the shade of the forest because they realize that the forest is very important to their lives, and the lives of people everywhere. |
