| The Concept of Tangaloa | |
| Tangaloa is both a rational
concept and an actual solution that can save our
rainforests and old-growth forests. How more
rational is it than to take an agricultural waste and
transform it into an alternative natural wood resource
with the qualities and properties of the best rainforests
woods. Tangaloa hardwood is a new wood resource of immense dimensions that is completely outside of any rainforests and its precious ecologies. Milled from senile (useless) copra plantation coco palms, Tangaloa hardwood is a powerful alternative wood to wood from our diminishing rainforests. The validity of millng senile coco palms into wood has been certified by the United Nations FAO, who is largely responsible for starting initiatives in the research of coco wood development. The raw resource of old coconut palms numbers in the billions. It is renewable and expandable. It is true that most trees are cut for replanting, land clearing or simply left to rot in the field. From an agricultural waste material, Tangaloa's proprietary non-chemical, non-toxic milling processes now turn these senile trees into high-quality, beautiful, exotic hardwood. Tangaloa hardwood is equal to or better than any rainforests wood, including the endangered mahogany and many other old-growth trees. Indeed, the fact that it is not a rainforest product already makes it better. |
 ...the canopy of life We encourage individuals and organizations concerned about the fate of our rainforests and its precious ecologies to consider the extraordinarily positive impact of such a wood resource Expanded usage of Tangaloa can help "save the rainforests" for its peoples and the world. Afterall, what do we leave our
children?
