Modern Technology Could End Illegal Logging

摘要

While the United States and Canada continue their more than four-decade war over softwood lumber imports/exports, a malignant enemy is undercutting the forest sectors in both nations and stealing billions in global economic value every year. Illegal logging - the harvest, transportation, purchase, or sale of timber in violation of laws - not only takes money from the pockets of landowners, both public and private, but it also destroys irreplaceable ecosystems and drives human-induced climate change as well.
