    Clement believed that “the Amazon’s first inhabitants laboriously cleared small plots with their stone axes. But rather than simply planting manioc and other annual crops in their gardens until the forest took them over” (Mann, p.341). Peach palms are the example that he uses for further proof of his theory. The wood from peach palms is very sturdy; the fruit is “soaked with oil and rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and, surprisingly, protein. When dried, the white or pink pulp makes flour for thin, tortilla-like cakes; when boiled and smoked, it becomes hors d’oeuvres; when cooked and fermented, it makes beer” (Mann, p341).…

    Oak wood has a very high density creating great strength and hardness. The wood is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high "tannin" content. It also has very appealing grain markings. Today oak wood is still commonly used for furniture making and flooring, timber frame buildings, and for veneer production. Barrels in which wines, sherry, and spirits such as brandy, Irish whiskey, Scotch whisky and Bourbon whiskey are aged are made from European and American oak. The use of oak in wine can add many different dimensions to wine based on the type and style of the oak. Oak barrels, which may be charred before use, contribute to the colour, taste, and aroma of the contents, imparting a desirable oaky vanillin flavour to these…

    Rosewood extraction methods are also incredibly inefficient. Due to the ever growing need to go farther into the forests, loggers are finding themselves further from the coast. Thus, for every rosewood tree obtained, four or five more buoyant trees are harvested to build a raft for the rosewood log (Global Witness & Environmental Investigation Agency, 2010). This furthers aridification of the landscape, reducing local species diversity and produces an increased probability of forest fires.…

First they find unemployed people to cut clear cut wood into cane width strips going out about 5 ft long. Next they set it on the fire in a an underground and closed area, then they fire the wood into charcoal in home fires, it keeps it less smoky, and would you believe it takes 10 kilos of wood to make just one kilo of wood charcoal. There is only less than 1% of Djibouti's total land area forest, most likely because all the trees get cut down for wood charcoal. Djibouti is also inclusive of acacia and doum palm trees around and the exportation of the wood charcoal started in 1990. It's now the 193rd largest export economy in the world.
