In Logged Forests, Hunting of Wildlife Becomes Deadly 'Second Harvest'

subsistence hunting of wild game for centuries.

According to the report, the ability of the industry to sustain its logging activities will depend on acknowledging that current logging practices are rarely sustainable in terms of trees themselves, let alone in terms of the forest animals, and to change its current practices.

WCS has called on the logging companies -- often the only institutional presence in remote forests -- to provide leadership by reducing their role in the explosion of bushmeat in logged areas, as well as national legislation to limit hunting of wild game. Some laws have already been enacted. Last year, working with WCS, Sarawak passed legislation that involved logging companies by banning the commercial sale of bushmeat.

"The situation is critical, but collaboration between logging companies and conservationists offers a way forward," Robinson said.
