With demand shrinking, costs climbing, and the younger generation turning away, the survival of this centuries-old craft hangs by a thread.

Fashion Accessories / Buttons Feature
Ecuador exports between 700 and 1,200 tonnes of corozo blanks per year. In 2011, the demand for the corozo skyrocketed, with 2,000 tonnes (about 1.5 billion blanks) exported. The goal is for demand to return to these levels because it helps people not to cut down the forests where corozo grows wild, since they can live on what the forest offers them.
