Important topic that needs more coverage and information. --Polylerus 20:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe information about the environmental/social/economic impacts of rubber tapping should be included. I'm currently reading a book about the Wari' tribe in Brazil, and it mentions tensions between rubber tappers in Brazil and the local indigenous people. I know that around a few wars there were surges in rubber demand that sparked a lot of workers to come to South America for rubber tapping.
