Superhero whooshes in, picks the tree up, roots and all, super jumps back out. Lands, is surrounded by soldiers, they yell, he sneers, super jumps away again. No harm, no foul (except for the hunk of still living wood and the displaced endangered animals, but who cares about them?). | |

| Apr 26, 2022 at 14:44 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | The problem with exotic woods is that there is a lot of regulation on that now due to deforestation. For example, ipe trees are so spread out that illegal logging companies will destroy an entire acer of rainforest make a path to, and harvest a single tree. So, a lot of the practices for harvesting wild exotic trees are now illegal and they must be farmed. While your hero may be able to get these trees without destroying the whole forest, he will have a very hard time getting his wood past inspection without going through the cartels... being a "hero", that posses a big problem. | |
