Manage episode 325982792 series 3333148
Why don't we hear about the Lacebark tree? The lagetta was once abundant in Jamaica 200 years ago. Indigenous Taíno used its inner bark for rope, baskets, and hammocks but now their presence is rare. They are gone forever or driven out by humans who wanted more land.

That includes not overpopulating areas since resources should only support an appropriate number of people at one time.
