I've actually seen a tree bleeding before, one time in school when I was just grade 1, me and my classmate played with a tree and when she touched that red thing from the tree, she got a wound from where she touched it and I was confused what that tree was or what happened

The logs dont sell for thousands of dollars. The furniture created does. Without the craftmenship, a log is still a log. That's kind of exaggerating the price of the log in itself.

It appears that the plunder of Africa by these unscrupulous elements is no where near the end. They capitalise on the weakness of the African people; greed fueled by abject poverty caused by reckless and corrupt African leaders and governments! Ironically, these logs will be converted into luxury furniture and shipped right back to Africa for Africans to buy! When you think you have seen or heard enough, something else pops up. Thank you BBC for spotlighting this menace.

This tree isn’t necessarily a rosewood. All true rosewoods are in the dalbergia genus and as seen in the video, this is not. Still interesting though.

"The separatist mouvement for democratic forces of Casamance has been fighting has been fighting for independence from Senegal since 1982."

With such a large scale tree cutting that leads to deforestation and loss of habitat for animal species, which can harm ecosystems, by the time they gain their independence, they'll inherit a useless terrain with little vegetation that'll also affect the traditional way of life for people living in such forests.

The government could be doing something about it. They are losing a precious resource that would be worth protecting with soldiers and guns. They could be planting more too, instead of watching them all leave. It's the leaders' own fault.
The man justified his rape of the forest by saying he would have to work long and hard for less. As if he never heard that illegal things are often linked to high prices. With his logic, we would all run brothels and casinos and sell drugs in them to boot.
