LATEST ILLEGAL LOGGING INVESTIGATION: US COMPANIES STILL EXPOSED IN THE AMAZON

While following up on this past October’s illegal logging investigation, Night Terrors, in which activists, with covertly-placed GPS devices, tracked the movements of trucks carrying illegal timber, Greenpeace has discovered that a large private forest estate, Santa Efigenia, had flooded the market with large amounts of laundered illegal timber. This one property had sold up to 18 million board feet of timber, including 5.1 million board feet of the trendy construction material ipê which would be worth around 7 million USD in the decking market.
