  • Skluzavka: 2
  • The Settlers
  • They come from the highlands under a colonization plan and try to clear the jungle to farm. Many fail; the gold prospectors exploit it carelessly.

  • The Gringos
  • They enter the jungle as hunters or tourists, without knowing or respecting its rules. One of them kills the ocelot's cubs and sets off the tragedy.
