Frankincense - a traditional staple of the Christmas story - faces an uncertain future, according to researchers.
Ecologists have warned that the production of the fragrant resin could decline by half over the next 15 years.
The festive fragrance is produced by tapping the gum of trees in the Boswellia genus.
The findings, based on a study carried out in Ethiopia, have been published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
