人工种植林是一种用来挽救野生濒临灭绝木种的批量种植技术。因为优良的看顾与的施肥，人工种植的红木的生长速度可以是野生红木的几倍。但是，在人工林中培育的木材，其树脂的含量与密度总是不如野生的树木高，制造出来的家具质量也会大打折扣。 The appearance of planted forests is a strategy on saving the species that near to their extinction, they can grow many times faster than the natural speed because of the use of the chemical fertilizer. However, the density of those human planted trees and its resin are not as original as the natural grownones, therefore the furniture made of grown woods are having lower quality than those natural ones made.因为几十年来家具市场的过多需求，中国海南的海南黄花梨正在面临灭种的风险, 海南及南方等地区的政府已采用人工种植技术来挽救这一物种。海南黄花梨的生长周期很长，需要花上好几百年才能成材。但人工种植的红木总不如那些百年红木，因此市场上出现了很多质量与实际价格不符的家具。 As an example, the natural grown Koompassia in Hainan, China, which takes up to hundreds year to develop into usable material is now on extinction because of decades of over logging and the high inquires from people. The Hainan natives have started to plant koompassia in their territory to save the specie from its extinction and the furniture market as well as governments in other regions in the south as well. 小叶紫檀是一种生长在石英岩富饶的悬崖或山丘上的柚木，相比其他红木，它们有着更强的硬度与密度。人工种植的紫檀一般会比野生的紫檀要粗，但是质量永远都没法跟野生的媲美。这就是为什么小叶紫檀市场有着如此多的争议。 The Pau Rosa, has many controversies for being massively planted. The original Pau Rosas are grown in quartz areas, such as cliffs or hills. It built up its intensity, oily and hardness of its trunk over hundred years. However, the human planted ones are often planted in areas that enriched with fluid and nutrition, therefore they are having thicker trunks than the natural grown.The reason that caused this difference depends on the mineral of the region,therefore it is difficult to grow Pau Rosa with a natural leveled quality and achievethe well nature of the wood in traditional sense. 从木材商的利益及世界法律的角度去看，大部分人都不愿意冒着违反自然环境保护法的风险去进口原始森林的名贵木材。所谓当今的环境保护法的范围在野生森林与人工林都是有效的，只要是同一物种，都在保护范围内。所以，人工林的红木虽然能有效的保护濒临灭绝的物种，但是却满足不了市场上对高质量的需求。 From the benefit point of view, most of the wood traders would not risk their career on importing the same species of wood because the legal limitations are protecting both natural and planted.Therefore they do not want to import the cheaper planted trees while facing the same risk.
