摘要：Timber exploitation plays an important role in the economy of the Amazon region but also in the destructive processes affecting the region’s forests. Much of the logging practiced widely in the Amazon today can be regarded as mining because it does not take into account the potential renewability of the natural resource. Although logging is usually highly selective, inadequate operational techniques often mean that significant damage is done to the remaining forest. Moreover, logged-over forests are often legally or illegally cleared, burnt out, and converted to agricultural land. In this process, many endemic animals and plants disappear (Embrapa/cifor 2000)
