The tree that produces rubber is the rubber tree, specifically the species Hevea brasiliensis. This tree is indigenous to the Amazon rainforest but is now cultivated in various tropical regions around the world, including Southeast Asia. Natural rubber is obtained by tapping the latex sap of the rubber tree, which is then processed into rubber products. The rubber harvested from these trees is a crucial material used in various industries, from automotive tires to footwear. Sustainable practices in rubber cultivation have become increasingly important to address environmental concerns associated with deforestation and habitat destruction.
