Rubber Tappers: Amazon Rainforest

For my Amazon Rainforest Essay, I will be choosing the Rubber Tappers. Rubber tappers are a group of people who tap rubber trees for a living. They want to keep rubber tapping but, the loggers are cutting the trees down. All they want is protected areas where they can keep rubber tapping. Only the Brazilian government can approve of that. Rubber tappers first came to the Amazon rainforest in the 1870’s. Most rubber tappers live in Brazil, near the Amazon rainforest, or in the Amazon rainforest. Rubber tappers are just a group of people who specialize in tapping rubber trees for latex. Ever since the 1870’s the tappers have been creating a living off of rubber tapping. The tappers are forced to sell the rubber to industrial processing plants for whatever price they can get off of it. The tappers use the forest by extracting a milky sap called latex.
In the process of the extraction it’s not harming the trees in any ways. They are only making incisions that cuts through the latex vessels which then leaks latex. They basically work there because that’s how they get their money. It benefits them because they get money off of it and can make rubber. It benefits the rest of the word because it provides us with rubber
So my main points were support them by setting up private land for them and stop the loggers from clearing the forest, help the tappers market their Amazonian rubber, and find industrial processing plants that would pay the worths of the rubber. By doing those things they can keep passing on their traditional rubber tapping skill. As a supporter of rubber tapping I influence you to support rubber tapping. Rubber tappers have protected up to 3 kilometers of forests. That’s the end of my Amazon Rainforest
