Rubber Production
Almost half of the world's rubber comes from China, however, China is also the world's largest consumer of rubber. The trend to moving to making their own rubber has allowed China to be self sufficient, but it also comes at a high cost. Rubber is made from the sap of rubber trees, so to produce all the rubber that they do, China has implemented state-run farms to grow rubber tress in the South China forest, mostly in Yunnan. To do this, native forrest have been cut down and replaced by rubber trees. This is a problem because not only are native flora being destroyed, but so are the homes of many native species, such as White Cheeked Gibbons and Asian elephants,
that are only found in the South China forests.
