Tropical wood makes up 47% of global wood sources, more than any other region. Some common tropical woods used in homes and schools include mahogany, iroko, san domingan rosewood, tropical olive, zebrano, teak, khaya, obeche, indian laurel, ekki, and wenge - all of which mainly come from Africa and Southeast Asia. However, people often do not consider the environmental impacts of deforestation when using wood products or think about the conditions in the countries where the forests are located.
