La rareza y protagonismo cultural del sándalo (Santalum sp.) en distintas partes del mundo, ha hecho de esta especie uno de las commodities (materias primas) más importantes del mercado asiático, llevando a varios grupos a desarrollar gran cantidad de expresiones culturales a partir de una madera que no crece en sus territorios, como ha sido el caso chino. A través de su particular ecología y distribución, hemos podido identificar una serie de focos de producción del sándalo a nivel histórico siendo la India uno de ellos. De esta manera, se han constituido extensas redes de intercambio, además de esfuerzos por controlar estos lugares y su producción. Este fenómeno se intensificará con la llegada de los agentes occidentales a Asia en el siglo XVI que, en búsqueda de los beneficios del comercio con China y hasta bien entrado el siglo XX, intentarán establecer regímenes de control y monopolio allá donde el sándalo crecía. En este artículo, partiendo de la naturaleza e importancia del sándalo, nos centraremos en la experiencia india bajo la óptica de la historia ambiental, explicando la reorientación de su producción hacia China e identificando la sucesión de los diferentes regímenes de gestión y comercio a los que se sometió al árbol, pudiendo contextualizar su importancia en distintos procesos históricos y como especie.
