Not only does it threaten biodiversity-rich old growth forests, it also endangers the livelihoods of the traditional communities that are dependent upon them. But controlling this global problem is not a simple matter of enacting new laws and enforcing new regulations — the rules already exist. If countries are to manage their forest sustainably they must implement existing laws effectively, and they must do so now! Cut and Run offers readers valuable insight on how this might be done.LoggingCorrupt practicesTropicsLumber tradeCorrupt practicesTropicsDeforestationTropicsForests and forestryTropicsRain forestsLoggingCorrupt practicesLumber tradeCorrupt practicesDeforestationForests and forestryRain forests.333.751370913Glastra Rob1070758International Development Research Centre (Canada)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910222203603321Cut and run2564914UNINA
