[MPWG] NEWS: Trees are stripped for medicinal bark

When bark specially inner bark is collected by the Traditional Healers of Chhattisgarh they use Traditional Allelopathic Knowledge to help the injured trees to overcome injuries and to get new vigour. I have documented this knowledge. Here is an example

Taylor, pointing to the healthy leaves overhead.

This slippery elm has fallen victim to thieves who tore off its bark for 
profit in the lucrative and burgeoning herbal-remedy market.
