This report, based largely on investigations carried out in China and Burma during 2004 and 2005, details both the mechanics and scale of logging in Kachin State and the associated illegal cross-border timber trade with China. It also looks at the impact that the logging is having on the livelihoods of forest-dependent communities, and how it is undermining the prospect for future sustainable development in Burma’s northern border areas.
