  1. Indonesia says it has reclaimed 4+ million hectares used for plantations and mining inside protected forest areas, after a year-old task force cracked down on illegality.

    Seizures exceeded targets by 400%, raising questions about how much oil palm is illegal. $136M in fines were collected — but the fate of the land, and the money, remains unclear.

  3. Thời gian gần đây, loài cây rừng mán đỉa – trước đây ít được quan tâm – bỗng trở nên "hot" khi thương lái thu mua với giá lên đến 3 triệu đồng/kg. Người dân tại Quảng Trị liên tục đổ xô vào rừng để săn lùng, khai thác. Trước tình trạng này, lực lượng Kiểm lâm tỉnh Quảng Trị đã vào cuộc để kiểm tra, kiểm soát và ngăn chặn nạn khai thác gỗ trái phép, bảo vệ rừng tự nhiên.

  9. Trotz #Abholzungsverbot verliert #Albanien weiter massiv #Waldfläche.

    Illegale #Holzeinschläge, fehlende Kontrollen und schwache Umsetzung des Moratoriums von 2016 gefährden vor allem die #Buchenwälder im Norden.

    Recherchen zeigen, dass ein Großteil des Holzes über Firmen wie #Alxhef bei Abnehmern in #Italien landet, teils unter Umgehung geltender EU-Regeln.

  14. ‘Lawless’ loggers?

    'Rogue' government agency Forestry Corporation of NSW accused of more illegal logging

    "There are fresh claims that a NSW government agency is illegally logging the habitats of threatened species. A New South Wales government agency has now racked up more than $1.1 million in penalties for more than a dozen instances of unlawful activity in less than five years, including seven criminal convictions.It also faces three more criminal prosecutions that could result in up to $12 million in additional penalties, if found guilty, and is under investigation for a further 18 potentially-illegal actions."

    "That agency is the state government-owned logging company, Forestry Corporation of NSW...The ongoing breaches by Forestry Corporation, despite strong enforcement action by the EPA, suggested there was an ingrained culture of non-compliance at the logging agency.'"

  16. "The hollows would have been visible when the tree was standing."

    "Forestry Corporation NSW sentenced for felling hollow-bearing trees in Mogo State Forest. FCNSW was fined $20,000 and ordered to pay more than $84,000 in legal costs to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)."

    FCNSW "was also ordered to widely publicise the judgement on its social media accounts and through a paid advertisement in the local newspaper and the Sydney Morning Herald within 60 days of the judgement."

    "Under the Coastal Integrated Forestry Operations Approval (CIFOA), the state-owned timber corporation responsible for managing more than 2 million hectares of public land is required to retain any hollow-bearing trees during harvesting operations. Such hollows typically form in trees more than 150 years old."

    "Hollow bearings are protected in NSW legislation because they take so long to form, and more than 300 Australian native species rely on them for shelter.
