အမည် ‘More Valuable than Gold’: Thailand’s Fight to Save the Siamese Rosewood
ဖော်ပြချက်

Dalbergia cochinchinensis, otherwise known as Thailand Rosewood or Siamese Rosewood, is an ancient hardwood found in the countries of the Mekong region, namely Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. The demand for valuable furniture carved from Siamese Rosewood, chiefly in China, has led to an epidemic of illegal logging and trafficking, threatening the species with extinction and resulting in a deadly war with poachers, particularly from the Thai government.
