As a Professional Forester I feel I can make an informed reply.

The vast majority of all the mahogany in plyood and furniture comes from plantation grown wood grow for the purpose of harvest. These crop trees are generally not even grown in the rain forest areas of the countries.

For example, Brazil has a huge paper industry, but it is based in the southern area of the country in savannahs that had no trees prior to the planting of millions of acres of eucalyps.

The statistics from the United Nations show that 95% of all rainforest is cleared and destroyed for agriculture, of burned as fuel.

In equitorial Africa, the best way to stop the rain forest destruction is to provide electicity to remote areas so there is a way to cook other than burning wood.

The cash from plantation grow trees is one of the few positives in some countries.

Sorry for getting up on my soap box.
