It is slow-growing, and occurs mainly in swamp [[forest]]s.<br /> <br /> The white wood is often used in children's [[furniture]] and [[window blind]]s. It is used because it is harder and lighter colour than many other [[hardwood]]s. However, over-exploitation has led to all species of ramin being listed as [[endangered species]], particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. An estimated 90% of ramin in recent international trade is [[illegal logging|illegally logged]]. Other names include melawis (Malaysia) and ramin telur ([[Sarawak]]).<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.defenders.org/cites/ramin.pdf Species Survival Network factsheet] (pdf file)<br /> *[http://cites.org CITES]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Malvales]]<br /> [[Category:Trees]]<br /> [[Category:Wood]]<br /> <br /> {{tree-stub}}</div>
