    On voit l'homme détruire les arbres et donc la forêt mais ce travail peut les aider à survivre. Puisse cette activité rester confidentielle.

    Someone I don’t think a bit of bark is going to protect me from a Utah winter

    Let's hope the Llanchama tree isn't rare or endangered. In terms of natural sources of clothing there's always cotton, flax, hemp, wool, slik, etc.

    If these people can use a motorized boat to find the bark ... they can use cotton.

    Cutting down a tree just to make clothes is not a suitable option for environmental protection.

    Igual, deben talar árboles para hacer la ropa, cuantos árboles deben existir para vestir a todos?
