 Le bois de santal, appelé l’or blanc,
pousse dans les zones tropicales.
L’écorce est très prisée sur le
marché mondial. Utilisée dans les
 rituels religieux de l’hindouisme et
du bouddhisme sous forme de pâte
et d’encens, elle sert aussi à
produire des parfums et des huiles
essentielles dont les propriétés sont
vantées par les professionnels de
l’aromathérapie. Son commerce
peut donc générer de gros revenus.
À Maurice, le bois de santal a été
décrété espèce protégée en août
2021. Son exportation est interdite.
Depuis août 2021, la police a
démantelé plusieurs réseaux mêlés
à cette activités dans divers régions
