LOGGING

Buying and selling of wood logs usually timber is another business that happens illegally despite so many laws against it. Timber as its use is widespread is usually hauled from the conserved forests. In an effort to save the forests and the wildlife as well, many strips of forests are banned for human activity. But still it seems a great task to keep the poachers away. In many African and Latin American countries more that 75 percent of logging activities are illegal. Despite of harsh laws, the penetration of this business is so wide that it becomes difficult to tap the smugglers.
