A recent study out of Malaysia illustrates that even responsible logging practices severely harm local fish populations. For their study, researchers at institutions in the United Kingdom and ...

A new study in Borneo shows that selectively logged rainforests retain only 60% of their original carbon capacity 22 years later, primarily due to a persistent lack of large, carbon-dense trees.

New technology is helping Peru fight against the illegal logging of its 68 million hectares of valuable tropical rainforest. Developed by the University of Sheffield, the technology uses satellite ...

A study shows that selective-logging leases accounted for the highest rate of deforestation in three provinces studied from 2013 to 2016. While the discovery came as a surprise, the researchers ...

Selective logging--the practice of removing one or two trees and leaving the rest intact--is often considered a sustainable alternative to clear-cutting, in which a large swath of forest is cut down, ...

Amazonian forests are unlikely to provide enough timber to meet current demand over the long term, even with the use of improved logging practices. Camille Piponiot, junior scientist from the ...

Borneo's rainforests bear the evidence of logging's long-term effects even after two decades. The logged sections contain ...

A new study finds nearly as few fish species in selectively logged forests as they did in forests clear-cut for plantations. Both selectively logged and clear-cut areas had around half the number fish ...

SELECTIVE logging is the most environmentally and socially responsible way to manage tropical forests in developing nations, according to a new study "We found that in many cases where logging has ...

Amazonian forests are unlikely to provide enough timber to meet current demand over the long term, even with the use of improved logging practices. That is a key finding of a new study led by the ...
