Sandalwood was introduced to Fiji in the early 19th century by European settlers and traders who sought to exploit its valuable timber and aromatic properties. The trees thrived in Fiji's tropical climate, leading to a burgeoning sandalwood trade. However, overharvesting and unsustainable practices led to a significant decline in sandalwood populations. Today, efforts are being made to conserve and sustainably manage the remaining sandalwood resources in Fiji.
