Kashmir’s prized willow tree in crisis | Inside South Asia

Wood from the willow trees of Kashmir is used to manufacture cricket bats used by top cricketers in India. But rampant felling of trees and cultivation of cheaper poplar wood has meant big challenges for this industry. Some 400 willow bat-manufacturing workshops across the valley face closure. Close to 150,000 workers could lose their jobs. A prided industry could disappear if urgent corrective measures are not taken.

The rule is that for every 1 tree you cut you plant 3. They caused their own problems for lack of common sense. Hickory trees work better for bats anyway.
