Deforestation Rainforest Relief is calling for consumer action against Wal-Mart for distributing furniture made of precious wood from endangered old-growth forests. Wal-Mart stores carry three brands of outdoor furniture built using nyatoh, a tropical hardwood that has increased in demand due to global crackdowns on teak harvesting. Nyatoh comes from ecologically sensitive rainforests in Indonesia and Malaysia that are in danger of disappearing forever. Rainforest Relief is asking consumers to call and email Wal-Mart, to request the company to stop purchasing furniture containing endangered tropical hardwoods. Source: Rainforest Relief
