3 Climate change and reforestation Reforestation is an important environmental issue of growing concern. International programs like the United Nations Initiative for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (UN-REDD) are key for implementing global programs for reducing deforestation, emissions through reforestation and aforestation projects. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Efforts to restore and establish global forest coverage have many benefits on a chemical, social and biological level. Planting new trees can help to reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane significantly contribute to a changing climate. Forest are an effective, natural carbon sink, soaking up much of the carbon emitted from burning fossil fuels. Reversing global deforestation is a key element of an effective mitigation strategy to fight global warming. The many benefits of reforestation Protecting species: In addition to the climate benefits, reforestation has the potential to preserve endangered species. A recovering forest restores habitat loss and degradation, leading threats to species health. Erosion and watersheds: Deforestation damages and destroys habitats through erosion. Forest restoration can reverse the damage done by erosion. Regional watersheds, a vital resource for human development, adversely impacted by deforestation can be brought back to health through reforestation. The benefits of reforestation and avoiding deforestation in the first place are clear. Forests help to fight against global climate change and help restore endangered species from extinction. It will also enable humans to better address world hunger issues as well as issues dealing with water usage and availability. 1

7 The consumption of African mahogany has been increasing as more people are preferring this product due to the increase in the prices of the genuine mahogany and availability. The major reason for the increase in the price of genuine mahogany is strict regulations by the respective countries to export genuine mahogany. THE AFRICAN MAHOGANY MARKET People are shifting towards African mahogany as it is cheaper compared to genuine mahogany and it is also observed that the quality of genuine mahogany has gone down and it has become difficult for the customers to pay high prices when the alternative Africa mahogany is available at much lower prices and is fairly similar in appearance. It is also observed that some of the furniture makers and home improvement contractors who were using genuine mahogany had shifted to African mahogany due to the increase in the price, and according to them the major difference between genuine and African mahogany is primarily texture. However, when African mahogany has a flat cut and good finishing, it almost looks similar to genuine mahogany with a finish. The United States has always been the largest importer of African mahogany as the primary replacement for Swietenia mahogany which is no longer available. It is popular in both acoustic and electric guitar manufacturing. The majority of US imports goes to the furniture industry with Stickley being one of the largest single importers, particularly for their Colonial Williamsburg line. Other companies using mahogany include Henredon, Lane, Drexel Heritage, Ethan Allen, Hickory Chair and many others. The other companies include Heppner Hardwoods, Inc Mahogany Outlet, TMB Hardwood, Alan McIlvain Company, etc. 5
