Nepali Red Sandalwoods are fake?

Dive deep into the world of Red Sandalwoods - a rare and valuable timber with an extraordinary story! Pterocarpus santalinus, scientifically known as Red Sandalwood, is a tree species growing 10-15 meters tall, primarily found in rocky, dry regions between 300-650 meters. With a heartwood development taking three decades, this tree produces incredibly valuable timber prized in countries like Japan and China for furniture, musical instruments, and religious artifacts. Despite its high market value, Red Sandalwood faces massive smuggling challenges, with Nepal seizing over 88,542 kilograms in illegal trade operations, making it a critical environmental and economic issue.
