Rubber Tappers

The Rubber Tappers made peace with the Indians and learned forest survival skills from them 70 years ago. The rubber tappers are friends with the environmentalists and the Native Amazonian. All three groups help support the rainforest by preserving it. The rubber trappers came in the 1900's and have major conflict between the loggers, because of all the clear-cutting they do. Inside the trees there is a sap that you can make rubber products with. But they can't do that with the clear-cutting going around the Amazon. All they want is to keep their harmless traditional way of life.
