Why buy Indian Sandalwood grown in Australia?

~ Sustainably grown on farms in Northern Australia.
~ Indian Sandalwood trees are endangered in India, and according to Bloomberg News most of the Sandalwood coming out of India is now poached.
~ Due to gangs and corruption in India, it is very difficult to know if the wood you are purchasing is from legit sources.
~ By not purchasing Indian Sandalwood, you help to send India a message to clean up its act and either allow private plantations or start building large government plantations.
