Madagascar is NOT Normal | Insane Rosewood Crisis

Hidden in Madagascar’s last rainforests stands a blood-red giant: rosewood - the world’s most trafficked wildlife product. A single log can fetch up to $100,000 once it’s carved into luxury furniture in Paris, Beijing or New York. But behind every polished coffee table is a chainsaw that roars through protected parks, bankrolls criminal syndicates, corrupts politicians and drains one of Earth’s top biodiversity hotspots.

In this deep-dive documentary: When a tree is worth more than a nation - we follow the entire illegal rosewood supply-chain. Loggers, middlemen and foreign brokers turned Madagascar’s forests into a multi-billion-dollar black market rivaling narcotics. We unpack the geopolitics: China’s appetite for “hongmu” redwood, EU loopholes and the financial pressure that leaves Madagascar desperate for quick cash.
