felling occurs but that no data on <strong>timber</strong> trade is available <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> species (PH<br />

participants, 2007). No imports were reported according to ITTO (Johnson, 2007).<br />

Trade in non-<strong>timber</strong> products, namely resin <strong>and</strong> fruits, was reported to take place. The<br />

resin extraction was considered to be <strong>sustainable</strong>, as it does not kill <strong>the</strong> <strong>tree</strong> (Palis,<br />

2007).<br />

No international trade was reported.<br />
