Fighting forest crime and promoting prudent banking for sustainable forest management: the anti money laundering approach - Fighting forest crime and promoting prudent banking for sustainable forest management : the anti money laundering approach
2011Co-Authors: B. Setiono, Yunus HuseinAbstract:If illegal Logging was a crime involving only poor forest-dependent people, truck drivers or underpaid forest rangers, it would not be difficult to stop. With involvement of financiers of illegal Logging, known as cukong, legal Timber industries, and government officers, illegal Logging becomes a complex problem not only for Indonesia, but also for the international forestry community. The current forestry law enforcement approach fails to capture the masterminds of illegal Logging. However, the money laundering law enforcement approach which 'follows the money' provides an important option to deal with the masterminds of illegal Logging. This new approach requires banks and other financial service providers to be more active and prudent in dealing with financial transactions related to their customers. Bank customers could include financiers of illegal Logging, Timber industries, law enforcement and government officers. Overall, proper implementation of the anti money laundering regime should provide opportunities for promoting prudent banking practices and sustainable forest management, and for curtailing forestry crimes.

Recovery of biomass and merchantable Timber volumes twenty years after conventional and reduced-impact Logging in Amazonian Brazil
Forest Ecology and Management, 2016Co-Authors: Edson Vidal, Thales A.p. West, Francis E PutzAbstract:Abstract Concerns about the sustainability of tropical forestry motivated this study on post-Logging Timber and carbon dynamics over a 20-year period in Paragominas, Para, Brazil. Previously unlogged forest was subjected to conventional Logging (CL), reduced-impact Logging (RIL), or was set aside as an unlogged control. All trees ⩾25 cm DBH and all trees of commercial species ⩾10 cm DBH were monitored in a 24.5 ha plot in each treatment, with a 5.25 ha subplot in each for monitoring all trees ⩾10 cm DBH. Above-ground biomass and bole volumes of merchantable species were tracked based on 10 inventories made between 1993 and 2014. Pre-Logging biomass and bole volumes of commercial species were estimated as 237, 231, and 211 Mg ha −1 , and 78, 80, and 70 m 3 ha −1 , in the RIL, CL, and unlogged plots, respectively. One year after Logging, biomass was reduced 14% by RIL and 24% by CL with corresponding merchantable species volume reductions of 21% and 31%. By 2014, biomass and bole volumes of commercial species had recovered 95% and 98% of their pre-Logging stocks in the RIL plot but only 76% and 72% in the CL plot, respectively; Timber volumes from large trees (⩾50 cm DBH) were only recovered to 81% in the RIL plot and to 53% in the CL plot. Over the first twenty years after Logging, average volume increments from commercial species were substantially higher in the RIL plot (0.72 m 3 ha −1 year −1 ) than in the CL plot (0.08 m 3 ha −1 year −1 ). Recovery of both biomass and Timber volumes were temporarily reversed between 2009 and 2014 due to a 4-fold increase in annual mortality rates in the RIL plot and a 5.5-fold increase in the CL plot (as well as a 3-fold increase in the control plot), all presumably related to the extreme drought of 2010. Our findings support the claim that use of RIL techniques accelerates rates of biomass and Timber stock recovery after selective Logging.

sustaining conservation values in selectively logged tropical forests the attained and the attainable
Conservation Letters, 2012Co-Authors: Francis E Putz, Pieter A Zuidema, Timothy Synnott, Marielos Penaclaros, Michelle Pinard, Douglas Sheil, Jerome K Vanclay, Plinio SistAbstract:Most tropical forests outside protected areas have been or will be selectively logged so it is essential to maximize the conservation values of partially harvested areas. Here we examine the extent to which these forests sustain Timber production, retain species, and conserve carbon stocks. We then describe some improvements in tropical forestry and how their implementation can be promoted. A simple meta-analysis based on >100 publications revealed substantial variability but that: Timber yields decline by about 46% after the first harvest but are subsequently sustained at that level; 76% of carbon is retained in once-logged forests; and, 85‐100% of species of mammals, birds, invertebrates, and plants remain after Logging. Timber stocks will not regain primary-forest levels within current harvest cycles, but yields increase if collateral damage is reduced and silvicultural treatments are applied. Given that selectively logged forests retain substantial biodiversity, carbon, and Timber stocks, this “middle way” between deforestation and total protection deserves more attention from researchers, conservation organizations, and policy-makers. Improvements in forest management are now likely if synergies are enhanced among initiatives to retain forest carbon stocks (REDD+), assure the legality of forest products, certify responsible management, and devolve control over forests to empowered local communities.
