A Choice for China: Ending the Destruction of Burma’s Northern Frontier Forests
This report makes the case for ending the illegal logging in Burma’s northern forests. Although the management of Burma’s forests is primarily the responsibility of the relevant authorities in Burma, the vast majority of the timber cut in northern Burma is subsequently exported illegally to China. The Chinese authorities are, therefore, ideally placed to help the Burmese end the illicit trade. It is also in China’s long-term self-interest to end destructive logging in northern Burma.
