Government efforts to preserve valuable hardwoods for commercial extraction have led to measures to prohibit swidden cultivation throughout the country.

Moreover, the most valuable dense hardwoods will not float.

One of the most significant components of this economy has been illegal logging, particularly of the valuable, dense, hardwoods known as rosewood and ebony.

It provides a valuable hardwood used for furniture, ornamental panelling, shipbuilding, and musical instruments like the sitar, rudra veena, and drums.

It is extremely hard, heavy, close-grained, and resists water well, making it a valuable hardwood.

Timber companies logged the valley for its valuable hardwood and pine trees.

But after removing some especially valuable hardwoods, it went bankrupt, leading to huge losses for creditors and a congressional corruption investigation that the government eventually quashed.

At the same time, the price of wood, particularly the valuable hardwoods that grow in Indonesia's rain forests and fetch a high price on the black market, increased.

It is a threatened tree yielding valuable hardwood found in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Cattle pasture, the valuable hardwood, housing space and farming space (especially for soybeans) are just the main reasons.
