Brazil Nuts 🥜🌰 are one solution to preventing the rapid deforestation in the Amazon🌲🌳 a whopping 65% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed in 2019 ðŸ˜
Brazil nuts make the forest worth more standing than cut since they cannot be commercially cultivated and only grow in virgin forest, this is because they are dependent on several animal species for their survival.
The Brazil nut trees (Bertholletia excelsa) grow as high as sky scrapers and local Amazonian tribes people go and collect the fallen nuts from the forest floor which are then sold to businesses.
