The best woods, like mahogany, were picked out and sent back to Europe for furniture, but this had little effect on the forests. The main deforestation happened when land was cleared for cash-cropping, mostly spices, like pepper, by the locals. The Europeans discovered that rubber trees (native to the Amazon) grew well in the Java climate, so vast areas of tropical forest were cut down for rubber plantations.
