The Trees That Bleed

Rosewood is one of the most trafficked wild commodities on earth. When it's cut, it bleeds a blood-red sap. Having exhausted stocks elsewhere, Chinese traders have turned to West Africa. Illegal logging of the endangered rosewood tree is decimating forests in Casamance in Senegal. It's unlawful to fell or export these trees. And yet, we can reveal they are logged and smuggled at an alarming rate - from Senegalese forests, through to the port of neighbouring Gambia and all the way onto China. For Our World, Umaru Fofana investigates trade in trafficked rosewood worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
