I usually don't follow the CITES (Conference on International Trade in Endangered Species) very closely, but ran across an article or two related to their last conference. It was held in Panama City in November of 2022 where several new species were added to Appendix II (Appendix I are species that are threatened with extinction and Appendix II are species that are threatened but not quite to the level of extinction). Regardless, species in Appendix II are export controlled and may become harder to obtain in the future.
Here is what was added in the 19th conference:
African Mahogany (Khaya spp.) - Red Meranti, Red Lauan - listed with enforcement starting 23-Feb-2023.
African Padauk (Pterocarpus spp.) - Padauk, Vermillion - listed with enforcement starting 23-Feb-2023.
Afzelia (Afzelia spp.) - Doussie, Red Doussie - listed with enforcement starting 23-Feb-2023.
Cumaru (Dipteryx spp.) - Brazilian Teak, Brazilian Chestnut - (listing delayed to 25-Nov-2024).
Ipe (Handroanthus spp.) - Brazilian Walnut, Brazilwood - (listing delayed to 25-Nov-2024).
