Teak and Saal are demanded by any Tom Dick and Harry :
Because he heard that Teak is THE BEST .He must have it too.
Saal Doorframe,windowframe is a MUST-because Govt. PWD book says so.
A massive waste originating from lack of Review of needs and search for
alternatives.
If you have to preserve these wonderful species--both so difficult to grow--
only one agency can-Govt.
How?
Make a resolve at the highest level. Presidential Decree " Thou shalt not
touch these 2 species for next50 years".Make felling,sawing,storing,selling
these 2--- ILLEGAL.-even for Cremations.
Make mandatory signature by Architect/Builder/owner on Building approval
Drawings--No Teak and Saal shall be used anywhere in this building .
Ask CPWD/PWD/MES/National BAMBOO Mission--"Use only Bamboo Frames/Panel at 10%
costs of Sal/Teak--make acceptable aesthetically"{I have made
prototypes--others too}.
There are 100 million Ton Bamboos of all shapes/sizes/mechanical Strength in
Assam and elsewhere
It is all a mindset-Grossly lacking in India.

teak plantation targets have been considerably reduced though the demand for
teak timber is ever increasing. solid wood is being replaced by plywood of
secondary species with treatment for prolonged durability.There is no
clearfelling of good natural forests for creating teak plantations. Degraded
but if suitable, such land is now used for plantation of different species.we
cannot create natural forests but only plantations. therefore natural forests
should be conserved as far as possible.Kushalapa K.A.>From: ajit chak <[EMAIL
