Question

Why are forests sparsely populated?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Populations concentrate where there are resources to extract, such as fertile ground or minerals, or where trade routes converge. Hunter-gatherers can make a decent living in tropical forests, but they do not build cities. Population densities rarely pass 10 people per square mile (26 people per square kilometer).
