History:
It has been noted that the harvest of Rosewood (also called Bois de Rose) is endangering the rain forest of Brazil, its natural habitat. However, it is largely the need for arable land and development that is threatening the forest.
In addition, the Brazilian government requires that a new Rosewood tree be planted for every tree being cut down. Most of the Rosewood is used for luxury furniture and carvings. It is also real popular for chopsticks in Japan.
