To make sure there would be teak for the future, teak plantations have evolved. The government now marks specific trees that can be cut to be used in industry.

These trees are forested the same way they have used for hundreds of years. After the tree is felled, an elephant drags the trees to the river where it is floated down stream to a mill. Teak is a very hard wood and difficult to work with. Due to the limited supply, teak is a very expensive wood.
