Around the edges
Please read the following passage:
"The shamanism is dying gradually due in part to the fact that the tropical rain forests are dying around the edges."
I've already checked the definition of the phrase "around the edges", and yet I see no matching result(it only means something definitive when phrased as "rough around the edges").
Does it mean that the rain forests are diminishing because the "outskirts" of it is being exploited?
