Indigenous forest people see them-selves as inseparably linked to the for-est and everything in it – trees, plants,rivers, animals and mountains. 

It is impossible, according to community beliefs, to separate any single object or living thing in the forest Although indigenous people around the world often have very different sets of beliefs and traditions, a special bond with the land is a common factor.

 For example, the semi-nomadic Matses people of the Peruvian Amazon call the rainforest Titá, or mother, referring to Titá as if to a person, who can be happy as well as sad, angry as well as indifferent.
