Purma
A purma is a type of grassy place or forest in the Amazon Basin. It is a type of forest that has been cut down and is growing back. There are purmas in South America.
Sometimes people cut down Amazon forest to make a farm. These farms are called chacras. After people stop using the farm, the trees and other plants start to grow back. Then it becomes a purma. Scientists call purma "early successional forest."[1][2] This means that a forest is only a purma for part of the time it is growing back.
