Confiscated planks of endanged Mulanje Cedar wood, Widdringtonia whytei, confiscated by Deparment of Foresty, Mount Mulanje, Southern District, Malawi

---

The Mulanje Cedar, Widdringtonia whytei, is the national tree of Malawi but is critically endangered due to its small habitat on a single mountain, and tree poaching for its valuable fragrant wood used in construction and wood-working is rife; occasionally the Department of Forestry confiscated wood from tree poachers and locks it up.
