What is Tagua?
Tagua is a form of vegetable ivory harvested from Palms Ivory in South America. It is considered a sustainable alternative to ivory derived from animals and responsible cultivation and harvesting tagua can also help with protection of rain works in South America. Like real ivory, tagua is thick and creamy yellow color and can be carved and processed into buttons, traditional crafts, billiard balls, musical instruments and other things that are traditionally made of ivory. The fully grown tagua tree can reach a height of 65 feet (20 meters) and will bring several very large, knob -free wooden fruits. When the fruit is cracked open, it reveals several nuts with an egg size egg size, tree seeds. Tagua seeds can be allowed to grow to seedlings to keep trees or carved into plant ivory products. In a small South American community, tagua can provide a valuable economic and cultural service by providing people a source of income that allows them to live traditional liveVotní style.
In South America, several initiatives used to protect rain work at the economic value of Tagua. Support is supported by tree cultivation and sustainable harvest; In many places, tagua is grown more in the rainforest environment than in the plantation and the seeds are harvested naturally when they fall to the ground, so that the tree is not traumatized by climbing. This allows the Tagua trees to provide valuable habitats for the rainforest animals and also helps with the protection of the rainforest, because the rainforest is a more valuable position than it is limited. Maintaining untouched rainforest allows scientists to explore, catalog new plant and animal species and look for other plants of funny potential economic, medical and decorative use for humans.
Like other forms of vegetable ivory, tagua is virtually indistinguishable from real ivory. People who are afraid of elephants also support plantathat Tagua in the hope that vegetable ivory can completely replace ivory of elephants. While elephants were dangerously hunted, Tagua thrives mostly South America and is also considered a renewable source, because the tree does not have to be killed for access to ivory. Tagua can thus serve the function of two parts: to help save an incredibly rare and diverse rainforest environment and help while maintaining elephants.
