Just received word that the Mabaruma Town Council will begin cutting down the historic rubber trees tomorrow- January 27th, 2021. Not sure they can be stopped at this point but they have a Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/Mabaruma-Town-Council-481304425969985/ I urge you all to write them asap and ask them to stop the cutting.
