The New York Times

Brief Summary:
The Peruvian tree, which has provided food and timber to the desert in Peru, has been doing so since before the Nazca civilization etched geoglyphs, can live over a millennium. There has been depletion of the huarango, which is causing ecologists to worry and save it.
Short Response:
We are cutting off one of our own limbs as we destroy a huarango. Woodcutters use handsaws at night to avoid detection, which shows they know what they are doing is wrong and should be stopped, as it should.
