examining plant structures for 2 or 300 years what s important is to have reference material but they aren t. that s why the kunin institute of wood research stores thousands of samples of various trees. but in spoke to him that plays on the structural features we can see here we can definitely say this word is not from a temperate or even boring old reacher boy as who rushed out. that means this charcoal was definitely tropically sourced. 8 of the 20 bags they examined did contain wood from rain forests. that amounts to 40 percent of their samples 6 5 bags even contained red list species of endangered or restricted blood. the findings are upset ng for your highness tannen of the world wildlife fund. not
compressed bearcats are especially hard to examine they consist mostly of coal dust and starch but even here the expert is able to find traces of wood. image told them individually identifying would species is called wood anatomy we identify types of wood based on their anatomical structure model and deal have been examining plant structures for 2 or 300 years what s important is to have reference material but they aren t. that s why the kunin institute of wood research stores thousands of samples of various trees. but in spoke to him at my ease on the structural features we can see here we can definitely say this word is not from a temperate or even boreal reacher at a boy ours who rushed out. that means this charcoal was definitely tropically sourced. 8 of the 20 bags they examined did contain wood from rain forests.
determine where it comes from. a need for genetic analysis as the raw material collected where it actually grew these samples are part of that reference material for the identification of wood samples in this case wood from central africa. d.n.a. is isolated from bark and believes there are genetic differences between trees of the same species in different locations but. we create a map with our genetic analysis and we correlate the genetics and the countries of origin and if all goes well. then false declarations won t wash anymore you can no longer claim a piece of wood comes from cameroon if genetic analysis proves it comes from gonna feel safe method and a great meat tool in the fight against the illegal lumber trade. is the.
