Dalbergia nigra
Dalbergia nigra, commonly known as Brazilian rosewood, is a tropical hardwood tree native to Brazil. It is highly valued for its rich color, fine grain, and aromatic properties, making it a popular choice for high-end furniture, musical instruments, and decorative items. The tree can grow up to 15 meters tall and is characterized by its dark brown to purplish-black heartwood.
Due to overexploitation and habitat loss, Dalbergia nigra is now considered endangered and is protected under international trade regulations, including the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Conservation efforts aim to preserve existing populations and promote sustainable alternatives.
