Have you ever thought about the timber black market? I had not either until this book. As a lover of trees it makes my stomach twist to read about these old-growth trees which are irreplaceable to our environment being chainsawed to pieces for profit. But that is what this book dives into. How tree poaching affects us and wildlife, but how it is also not as black and white of an issue as we may perceive it to be. The complexities of public land and the peoples that this public land imposes upon is a tangled web, and trying to untangle it can lead to some interesting results.
I enjoyed the knowledge this book gave and the investigative work that went into writing it, but I was easily bogged down in the details at times and found it a slog to finish reading.
