 Is grenadilla still used for making clarinets?

As grenadilla wood benefits from tight protection, for it is in danger of disappearing, are clarinet manufacturers using something different? I worked with a clarinet builder that experimented with all sorts of wood, but, in my opinion, nothing was quite as good as grenadilla. One exception: boxwood. It had fine acoustic qualities, but warped too easily.
