The this region was once entirely covered with rainforest,
but large areas have been cleared for cattle ranching and
for sugar cane plantations. Like other major rainforests,
the jungles and mangrove swamps of Central America contain
many plants and animals found nowhere else. Central America
is famous for its large number of tropical birds, including
many kinds of parrots popularity of the order allowed its
influence to spread across Europe, and funds to deal with
this growing influence were attained through farming the
large areas of land surrounding the monasteries, as well as
taking part in local industries such as the raising of
livestock. It was as famers, horse, and cattle breeders that
the Cistercians had a large commerical influence in the
Middle Ages, and many improvements in various farming
operations were introduced by them. At the start of its
life, the Cisterican order rejected sources of income which
came from benefices, tithes, tolls and rents, and depended
only on surrounding land for income; a distunguising feature
at the times. This developed an organized system for selling
their cattle, horses, and farm products. Thus by the middle
of the 13th century the export of wool by the English
Cistercians had become a feature in the commerce of the
country. Farming operations on so extensive a scale could
not be carried out by the monks alone, whose choir and
religious duties took up a considerable portion of their
time; and so from the beginning the system of lay brothers
was introduced on a large scale. The lay brothers were
recruited from the peasantry and were simple uneducated men,
whose function consisted in carrying out the various
fieldworks and plying all sorts of useful trades: the Amazon
jungle is the world's largest tropical rainforest. The
forest covers the basin of the Amazon, the world's second
longest river. They formed a body of men who lived alongside
of the choir monks, but separate from them, not taking part
in the canonical office, but having their own fixed round of
prayer.
