Illegal Logging in Para State, Brazil
A logging truck waits to load timber in an illegally logged area near Santarém, in Pará State, the center of the logging industry in the Amazon. An investigation by Greenpeace used GPS locator beacons to monitor logging trucks. During the day, empty logging trucks travel deep into the rainforest and at night they travel from illegal logging camps to sawmills in Santarém. These sawmills regularly export timber to Europe, China and the United States.
