Rubber Tree
The Rubber Tree, scientifically known as *Hevea brasiliensis*, is a tropical tree native to the Amazon rainforest. It is famous for its ability to produce natural rubber, which is harvested from its bark. The process involves making incisions in the bark to collect the milky latex sap, which is then processed into rubber products like tires and gloves.
These trees thrive in warm, humid climates and can grow up to 100 feet tall. The rubber industry plays a significant role in many economies, providing jobs and materials for countless products. Additionally, the Amazon rainforest is crucial for biodiversity and climate regulation, making the conservation of these trees important.
