Lithocarpus Rajah

Rajah ironwood, scientifically known as Lithocarpus rajah, is a rare and ancient tree species native to the rainforests of Borneo. This hardy and durable tree is prized for its exceptionally dense wood, which has been historically used by indigenous communities for crafting tools and ceremonial objects. Despite its ecological importance, the Rajah ironwood faces significant threats from habitat loss and overexploitation. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this species and preserve its role in the fragile ecosystems of Borneo. Its survival is a testament to the resilience of nature and the need for continued environmental stewardship.
