Behind closed doors: A major Greenpeace investigation
Publication date: July 2000
Summary
During the last 10 months Greenpeace investigators using tracking devices and equipped with camcorders have been documenting the import trade of criminal timber from the heart of the Amazon rainforest to the UK. Investigators have been documenting evidence of this illegal timber through the supply chain route to its end-user. Greenpeace's investigation has uncovered a trail of criminal plywood from the Amazon rainforest to the British Museum, the furniture store Heals, the Olympia Exhibition Centre and dozens of large and small timber merchants, yards and depots around the country.
