Reviving Red Sanders: Conservation Strategies and Economic Prospects of an Endangered Indian Treasur

In this article, Vijayalakshmi K P, Rashmitha H R, and Harshel Suares highlight that Pterocarpus santalinus (Red Sanders), endemic to the southern Eastern Ghats, is classified as ‘Endangered’. Known for its valuable heartwood, the species offers high economic returns—well-managed 15-year-old plantations can yield up to 30 tonnes of pods per hectare, and individual trees about 250 kg of heartwood. However, its limited distribution and high demand have led to illegal trade and conservation challenges. Urgent action is needed through mass propagation, plantations, and inclusive policies.
