Illegal logging chart
Illegal logging in developing countries is facilitated often by organized crime networks in conjunction with corrupt government officials, with many instances of selective logging taking place even in protected areas, due to the lack of forest law enforcement. As a result of weak forest governance, illegal timber accounts over 70% of some countries’ timber exports, such as Peru, Bolivia and the DRC.

The Act makes it an offence to import a timber product that has been illegally logged. Illegal logging is the harvesting, processing, transporting, buying or selling of timber in contravention of national and international laws. It has a devastating impact on some of the world's most valuable remaining forests, and on the people who live in them and rely on the resources that forests provide. In Peru, illegal logging happens at a rate of approximately 80 percent. The rate is 85 percent in Myanmar and nearly 65 percent in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Illegal logging avoids all of these costs –at lasting cost to people and the environment. When illegally-logged wood is mixed with legal wood in manufacturing or distribution, it becomes impossible to tell the two apart – but the cost, and therefore the price, of all the wood tends to come down.
Other results of illegal logging involve the intrusion into the forest caused by loggers. Often canals and trails are cut to allow foot and boat access deep into the forest. Canals result in lowered water levels and increased human access into forests increase incidents of illegal hunting and other destruction of habitat. Illegal logging is the harvest, transportation, purchase or sale of timber in violation of laws. The harvesting procedure itself may be illegal, including using corrupt means to gain access to forests; extraction without permission, or from a protected area; the cutting down of protected species ; or the extraction of timber in excess of agreed limits. Logging. Trees are cut down to provide the wood and paper requirements of our ever growing population. In the process of harvesting the wood, trees have to be cleared to give access to logging equipments, as well. Illegal logging is now being strictly implemented and most business are moving into a paper free environment. Illegal logging is a global issue, affecting most forested countries. Estimating the scale of illegal logging is challenging due its illicit nature. However in-depth investigations into forestry practices from around the world, as well as research into the timber trade, all indicate that it is a substantial problem.

The terms of reference for the mitigation of illegal logging are as follows: Review the available information on illegal logging, including production and sales statistics, etc. that may indicate or confirm the existence and scope of illegal activities and familiarise with information and opinions on Illegal logging avoids all of these costs –at lasting cost to people and the environment. When illegally-logged wood is mixed with legal wood in manufacturing or distribution, it becomes impossible to tell the two apart – but the cost, and therefore the price, of all the wood tends to come down. Domestic media coverage was assessed using national media databases, and searching for ‘illegal logging’ or related terms in the national language. International media coverage was assessed through using the online media database Factiva, and by searching for English-language articles that referred to 'illegal logging' in the target country. Between 1982 to 2012, an estimated 80 million cubic meters of wood was illegally logged in Romania, according to the Minister Delegate for Water and Forests. The illegal logging activities caused $6.8 Million (€5 Billion) in damage. From 2007 to 2012, the rate of the illegal logging in Romania doubled, Threats to the forest include clear cutting, pollution and illegal logging. Clear cutting occurs when trees are cut in huge sections leaving no protection for wildlife or soil. Pollution occurs when humans damage water ways, soil and wildlife by disposing of waste improperly, using hydroelectric development and mining.
Illegal logging is the harvest, transportation, purchase or sale of timber in violation of laws. The harvesting procedure itself may be illegal, including using corrupt means to gain access to forests; extraction without permission, or from a protected area; the cutting down of protected species ; or the extraction of timber in excess of agreed limits.
Therefore, the difference of 57 million cubic meters was the suspected volume of illegal logging or legally unreported logging in 1998. The year before, the estimated volume of legally logged timber was 30 million cubic meters and the suspected volume of illegal logging was 41 million cubic meters.

The new FAO data says Cambodia’s current primary forest cover stands at 322,000 hectares]. Illegal logging, combined with rapid development, is blamed for much of Cambodia’s forest loss. The main cause of deforestation is agriculture (poorly planned infrastructure is emerging as a big threat too) and the main cause of forest degradation is illegal logging. We’re losing 18.7 million acres of forests annually, equivalent to 27 soccer fields every minute. The above pie chart showing deforestation in the Amazon by cause is based on the median figures for estimate ranges. Please note the low estimate for large-scale agriculture. Between 2000-2005 soybean cultivation reesulted in a small overall percentage of direct deforestation. The biggest issue thought to be facing deforestation in the United States is illegal logging in forests although facts prove otherwise from habitat and forest cover loss annually to catastrophic fire. More than 83 million acres have been lost to wildfire from 2005 to date.
