The document discusses different groups that use the resources of the Amazon Rainforest in South America, specifically loggers and Native Amazonians. While loggers use the land and resources in a way that provides jobs but ultimately destroys the rainforest, the Native Amazonians preserve the rainforest by not overusing its resources. The document argues that the Native Amazonians' methods of sustainably using the forest are better than the loggers' practices that hurt the long-term viability of the Amazon Rainforest.
