| description | A survey in United Kingdom on public attitude towards tropical timbers showed negative disposition
towards tropical hardwoods and wood products. Those considering buying tropical wood products would do

them. Tropical wood products may not fare better in the future due to greater awareness of environment
quality. The survey results revealed that males and those from higher incomes groups unlike the others were
willing to purchase tropical hardwood, especially if it was from substainable forests. |
