The more durable woods tend to be overexploited and are ever
more rare. For example lignum vitae is now CITES-listed

All the more reason to reforest tropical deforested areas. Plant these
rare, durable species on a large enough scale, and this will take pressure
off the
wild populations.

Very little chance of that. These species with durable woods tend to take a
long time to mature. General policy for replanting deforested areas is to
use quickly maturing species, usually for paper pulp. Quite often pine or
eucalypt. That is where the money is. Actually it still happens that entire
natural forests containing some of the most beautiful hardwoods in the world
are cut down and processed as pulp, at best to be replanted in pine or
eucalypt..

The exception are some teak plantations, yielding wood of variable quality
and FSC-certification. Theoretically a FSC-certified forest can be exploited
sustainably, allowing the valuable species to regenerate. If this will work
is uncertain, but it is better than converting such a forest into an
oil/pulp plantation or using it for shifting agriculture.

A somewhat hopeful contribution is made by using Pterocarpus indicus and
Dalbergia sissoo as lane trees in cities in Asia.
