Data
Cedar (Cedrela Odorata) is an important forest species for the industry, but is fundamentally a means of subsistence for communities in remote areas with few economic alternatives. Therefore, the parties (countries) of the CITES convention agreed that regulations should be established to guarantee the survival of these species in nature, even more so being the use.
It is also a forest species that is in serious danger, due to illegal felling. It is a species classified as vulnerable, according to the D.S. 043-2006-AG, which approves the categorization of threatened species of wild flora.
