Illegal logging in Dak Lak
Two illegal logging sites were found in the community forest of Tul Village. Nearly 39 cubic metres of timber were found at the sites. Many trees with a diameter of 40cm to 100cm were cut down. The newest activities were only a month ago. The police haven't found any suspects and no one has come to claim the timber.
During Tet Holiday, the police in Krong Bong District detained nine people who were transporting seven cubic metres of timber via buffalo carts. They had illegally cut down Fokienia or Fujian Cypress trees in the forest land managed by Krong Bong Forestry Company. The police later found nearly 30 cubic metres of timber left at the site.
In other cases, over 20 people were seen bringing mechanic saws to cut trees illegally on the 8,600 square metres of forest land of Krong Bong Forestry Company.
Three cases were reported after over 2.1ha of forest land managed by Ea H'leo Forestry Company were destroyed.
