Tropical hardwood refers to wood sourced from trees that grow in tropical climates, characterized by warm temperatures and high humidity. These trees, such as Teak, Mahogany, and Ebony, are known for their durability, strength, and resistance to decay. Tropical hardwoods are often used in furniture, flooring, and boat building due to their attractive appearance and longevity. The harvesting of tropical hardwoods can have significant environmental impacts, including deforestation and loss of biodiversity. Sustainable practices, such as certified forestry and responsible sourcing, aim to minimize these effects while still providing high-quality materials for various industries.
