Material Study: Indian Sandalwood Crisis

While exploitation threatens Indian sandalwood, a plea for conservation and regeneration resounds
For thousands of years now, the sandalwood tree has been a source of pride for India. Sandal (Santalum album L.), one of the most economically important forest trees harvested for its heartwood oil, forms an important component of the total foreign exchange earned in the country. The tree is generally known as the “dollar earning parasite” and its wood is commercially known as “East Indian sandalwood,” whereas its fragrant oil is called the “queen of essential oil” (F-1). Owing to its wide use in both Hindu and Buddhist religious ceremonies, in ayurvedic medicine and perfumery, and in the wake of increasing world demand for its oil, it has more prospects of trade than what is being realized currently in the country.
