Kwila wood is native to West Papua and takes 75–80 years to fully mature and finish growing. Due to its vibrant red colour and resistance to termites it is often used for flooring and decking. I believe that high demand has endangered kwila as it is unable to be quickly farmed, and the use of kwila wood is unsustainable. We want the New Zealand government to ban the importation of kwila wood in New Zealand to preserve the tree in the same way we aim to protect our own native trees
