Naha is found in what once was the largest virgin forest in Mexico: The Lacandon Forest, of which only patches remain. To the north, east, south and east of Naha we observe a very degraded forest, mostly due to farming and cattle ranching, on the land occupied by the Tzeltal Maya people, who were given land titles in the land originally inhabited by the Lacandon Maya. They have been reduced to 2 islands of forest in the "northern Lacandon" area, which are a mixture of pristine forest and "managed" land in the Maya traditional *milpa lacandona* way that is also being lost gradually. The reasons for this are both intricate and complex. == Invasion, subcontracting of cheap Maya Tzeltal labour by the Lacandon to do their milpa, which they do the way they know and not necessarily using the Lacandon technique === |
