Daruhi, G. (Forestry Dept., Vila (Vanuatu))
The species of sandalwood occurring in Vanuatu is Santalum austrocaledonicum. Following heavy exploitation in the mid nineteen century, there has been little economic use of the species in Vanuatu since that time. Sandalwood is still widely distributed on the island of Espiritu Santo, and other islands from Efate southwards, although its conservation status is such that the Vanuatu Government has placed a moratorium on harvesting in recent years. Efforts are being made to encourage farmers to plant sandalwood in old garden areas, but without great success so far.
