The bark is stripped off and used as cork.

Is this a cork plantation of sorts, and the trees planted for that purpose, or is it just people/businesses taking advantage of the local fauna?

    I didn't seem like a plantation. We were hiking a trail and kept coming across them. Sometimes one, sometimes a bunch. I think they're scattered throughout the forest and some people have rights to certain areas.
