Pernambuco

Pernambuco is the national tree of Brasil and its wood is used for making bows for stringed instruments.  Unfortunately it has been depleted since the time of settlement and today is an endangered species.

The International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative focuses on preserving and restoring Pernambuco within its former range.

SoundWood  is a project aimed at safeguarding the future of trees used to make musical instruments.
