About six decades back I read an ancient book about the German Black Forest ; thus began an amateur love for forest trees and later wood. Among the hard woods I was fascinated with the one hundred or two hundred years old towering teak and rosewood trees which were common in the area where I worked then. Owing to unending demand teak has become scarce and rosewood unattainable. We need to plant and protect such species. This sound article took me back to old times. I hope this article will create awareness of the environment which we need to sustain for it is the environment which will sustain us.
