Are the World’s rainforests really in such danger of destruction?
Planting and harvesting tropical hardwood trees reduces the pressure to log what little primary rainforest remains. The expanding world population coupled with the ever-growing demand for beautiful and durable hardwoods has made it crucial to provide an alternative sustainable supply of these highly desired tropical woods.
