The article is informative. My question is - in India with its varied climates, insects, borers and other issues, would this work?

Secondly, assuming that we can build using timber - which is a rare and expensive commodity in India, how can we guarantee sustainable forest management?

Thirdly, what are the other options for building environmentally safe buildings? I am told compressed brick is an option but would love to hear if anyone has done research and implemented green building for their homes.

Thank you

I know of a Resort located at Lonavala, Maharashtra name ‘The Machan’ which consists of
Many different tree houses made completely using wood.

So, I do think that implementing environmental friendly houses using timber is
Certainly possible in India.

All we need is political will!!
