Isn it bad for the worlds eco system to cut down balsa wood trees?
It is true that deforestation is one of the biggest problems for the world’s eco system. The United Nations estimates that 37 million acres of pristine forest is lost every year to deforestation. Therefore, the balsa wood we import is not harvested in tropical rainforests but grows on a sustainable and eco friendly farm. To further lower our impact on the environment we are currently growing trees in Australia. Balsa wood in general is not an endangered species as it is a very fast growing tree. After 3-4 years the tree is already harvested.
