The rosewood trafficking cycle with different time scales and speeds, alongside associated reactions from CITES—supported by research, activism, journalism, and other civil society organizations—and actors involved in precious wood trafficking. (1. Precious wood or rosewood relate to species in the rosewood (Dalbergia, Fabaceae) and ebony (Diospyros, Ebenaceae) genera; 2. All species of rosewood and ebony from Madagascar; 3. Stocks correspond to the logs seized after the prohibition of international trade and the ban on logging at the national level, whether these logs were seized in Madagascar or elsewhere in the world, including in Singapore, Taiwan, and Kenya; 4. All species of rosewood and ebony from the entire world; 5. Uncertainty and risks that may have started as early as when CITES began to give up on Madagascar rosewood—see August 2019)

Madagascar’s plan for a domestic rosewood trade sparks concern. Could it undermine conservation efforts and the CITES framework? Learn how this proposal could set a dangerous precedent for rare species. journalmcd.com/index.php/mc... #Madagascar #CITES
