Cork is the most sustainable, natural insulator around, and its internal structure holds up to being compressed. It has even been used to insulate freezers and seal engine components. It is also an extremely sustainable resource. Not one tree is cut down to harvest cork. The bark is peeled off and grows back in nine years ready to be harvested again.
Cork forests are farmed in a unique ecosystem that has been created from the interplay of human intervention and natural necessity.
In the Mediterranean, the cork oak forests support much more than cork material production. Centuries ago as humans inhabited the forests they cleared underbrush so that their livestock could graze. They kept the trees to give respite from the sun. The grasslands under the canopy became home to hares which are food for the Iberian lynx and the Imperial Eagle. Honey farming was developed and cheeses produced to add to the local diet and markets. Cork forests are still managed within this balanced ecosystem that is an example of how humanity and nature should interact.
