Termite nests built on the Siamese rosewood tree and use this tree as a food source.

Termites build their nests on Siamese rosewood trees, a valuable and highly prized hardwood species. These termites not only create their colonies on the tree but also use the wood as a primary food source. The Siamese rosewood is particularly vulnerable to termite infestations because its dense and rich wood provides essential nutrients for the termites. Over time, the feeding and nesting activities of the termites can cause significant damage to the tree, impacting its growth and structural integrity. This can be a major concern in areas where Siamese rosewood trees are already endangered due to illegal logging and overharvesting, further threatening their survival.
