Rainforest Rubber and Indigenous Uses in the Amazon
The text states that Amazonian peoples first made rubber from a white sap in the rainforest. They used the sap as insect repellent and to waterproof feather robes. Heated sap thickened into rubber, enabling the creation of shoes and boats. An associated puzzle asks to unscramble leaf letters to reveal a rainforest snake name up to 40 feet long.
