The Living Jungle – 7

07

The inhabitants make roofs with woven palm leaves, because of their beautiful appearance, to keep alive traditional skills, and because the leaves do a good job of insulating the interiors from outdoor sounds. The government has offered to supply them with metal roofs, but they prefer their traditional roofs. The high school is one of the few buildings which has a metal roof.
