Chile
The temperate rainforests of Chile are rapidly disappearing
On the flipside of the equator from the Northwest
US
and British Columbia,
Canada
, much of Chile's forests are rare coastal temperate rainforests.
Because these forests are globally important and are quickly being destroyed, wood from these areas should be avoided.
For a list of woods from Chile, see our
Guidelines to Avoiding Wood from Endangered Forests
and also the
Temperate Woods
, In our
What to Avoid/What to Choose
section.
