Forest management: why should designers and architects specify tropical woods?

Article Abstract:

Many designers avoid the use of tropical woods in their specifications to contribute to the preservation of forest estates. However, this may lead to the devaluation of these products and eventually result in the people losing interest in initiating forest management projects. Government leaders should see forest management as a long-term economic activity requiring careful planning and the use of the latest technology.
