Applications of Lesser Known Timber Species
Wood has always been one of the essential materials used in construction,
and with the ongoing trend oftimber -framed tall buildings, it has become
more important then ever to be conscious of the impacts on the
environment from the types of wood we source.
Currently, there exist more than 50,000 tropical timber species in the world,
yet only a small percentage of those are utilized in construction projects.
This has led to the exploitation of the more well-known timber species,
altering the diversity of the world’s tropical forests and putting those species
in danger of disappearing completely.
