Bamboo forest

Bamboos also differ from ordinary trees both in appearance and characteristics like having trunks that are sturdy but do not grow thick.

As such, bamboo forests are seen as a vital source to create tools and resource that are important to the livelihood of these communities.

[3][4] When bamboo forests are managed with moderate extraction, they have the ability of deterring landslides or erosions in the event of an earthquake or other natural disasters.

[5] The spread of alternative materials to make different tools and objects has led to some regional bamboo forests to be mismanaged and left in poor states.

[6] The expansion of these neglected bamboo forests puts pressure on other plants by reducing the biodiversity in many of these regions and can also lead to natural disasters having bigger impact on communities.
