278 - How do humans use land differently around the world?

Humans use land in different ways around the world due to different climates, cultures, and needs. Here are a few examples:

1. Farming: In countries like China and the US, people use a lot of land for farming to grow food like wheat, rice, and corn. In other places like deserts, it's harder to farm, so people use land for herding animals instead.

2. Forestry: Countries like Brazil and Indonesia have a lot of rainforests, and people use them for wood, medicine, and shelter for animals.

3. Cities: In cities like Tokyo and New York, people use land for buildings, roads, and homes. These areas are very crowded and busy.

4. National Parks: Some countries like Australia and South Africa protect land by creating national parks, where animals can roam freely and people can visit to enjoy nature.

5. Deserts: In places like the Sahara Desert in Africa, people use the land for mining, herding animals, and building special homes to protect themselves from the hot sun.

Overall, people use land in different ways depending on what's available and what they need to survive.
