To understand the ancient Mayan people who lived in the area that is today

southern Mexico and Central America and the ecological difficulties they

faced, one must first consider their environment, which we think of as

"jungle" or "tropical rainforest." ■This view is inaccurate, and the reason

proves to be important. ■Properly speaking, tropical rainforests grow in

high-rainfall equatorial areas that remain wet or humid all year round. But

the Maya homeland lies more than sixteen hundred kilometers from the equator,

at latitudes 17 to 22 degrees north, in a habitat termed a "seasonal tropical

forest." ■That is, while there does tend to be a rainy season from May to

October, there is also a dry season from January through April. If one

focuses on the wet months, one calls the Maya homeland a "seasonal tropical

forest"; if one focuses on the dry months, one could instead describe it as a

"seasonal desert." ■




*The difference between the two climates challenged the Maya who had to deal

with both.
