Brittonamra Caribaea Var. Glabrescens

Caribbean mahogany, scientifically known as Brittonamra caribaea var. glabrescens, is a valuable hardwood species native to the Caribbean region. This tree is prized for its rich, dark wood that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. It has played a significant role in the timber industry for centuries due to its unique properties and widespread availability. However, overharvesting has led to its decline, prompting conservation efforts to protect its dwindling populations. Despite these challenges, the tree remains an important part of the region's ecological and cultural heritage.
