"If I remember the sunflower forest it is because from its hidden reaches man arose. The green world is his sacred center. In moments of sanity he must still seek refuge there."

Precious Hardwood Notice:  

A 2002 study revealed that between 75 to 85 percent of the hardwood production and 30 to 50 percent of the pine wood production in Honduras is illegal. 

In a more recent 2005 publication, which documented a one-year illegal logging undercover  investigation carried out by the Environmental Investigation Agency, a government expert on the mahogany trade in Honduras stated, "The only remaining viable populations are in national parks or reserves."  

Therefore, I urge all of you, please refrain from buying wood products from developing countries, in particular, the much coveted and once abundant Honduras mahogany.
