[00:01.669]The Jinou people are incredibly knowledgeable about their forests
[00:05.661]and claim to have uses for most of the plants that they find there.
[00:14.935]They have names for them all,
[00:16.928]those good for eating
[00:18.683]and some which even have strong medicinal qualities.
[00:24.936]By working here,
[00:25.683]the Jinou play a similar role to the elephants,
[00:30.177]opening up the forest,
[00:31.683]bringing space,
[00:33.436]light and diversity.
[00:38.934]Green, fast growing species are encouraged.
[00:41.682]Insects are in high abundance here,
[00:44.185]together with the animals that feed on them.
[00:51.931]Knowledge of the forest enables the Jinou
[00:54.434]to find not just plants,
[00:55.934]but other tasty forest food too.
[01:02.936]Forest crabs are common here,
[01:04.684]feeding on the abundant leaf litter.
[01:07.683]This will be a tasty addition to the evening meal.
