Romanias fost ancient forests are some of the most precious in europe, but widespread, illegal logging is destroying both the environment and peoples lives and made allegations of corruption and filing tickets. Those working to defend this remarkable landscape weve been to investigate. Rumania is blessed with the most precious forests in your but with the rise of illegal logging, its getting dangerous in these vast ancient woodlands. Reportedly the figures of stone 6 forest ranges moved to last autumn in length, and a further 650 attacked with axes no leaves. And this doctor, this is where you have gone and violence and then killing with the bulls. The copay themes was 70 percent of europes virgin. Forest is fun and all the scene of a desperate bustle between most is being done to the timber muffy and those risking their lives to protect this precious environment. If one tries to mess up with their interest for a small fee, you get in trouble and you can even die. Remain use forests disappearing, finest trees, both ancient and young, harvested. Thats an astonishing right. Some of which is just in for cheap furniture in western europe. Overhaul for all logging. It is illegal. The contrary road so full of trucks carrying timber 24 hours a day, 7 days, a week. We have joined agent green. The remaining n. G. A. , who are trucking one such a lorry, there is no one called for the last 72 hours license by the transport leader called want to, which we just need to let up on it is coming and they would organize our old block. Here are the truck appears to be carrying substantially more timber than had been declared. If we look at the volume of the missing wood problem and forest illegally, we are talking about 20000000 cubic meters by the author of these. They only catch one person. So i know many are basically you have 99 per cent chance fish to steal the wood and get away with it. But once its done each remain years old growth forests have barely changed since then. And only say, there are very simple window and the time has passed by their examples of how nature a process shape an ecosystem that its untouched by humans. Although forests have a spectacular composition, its this mix of old trees and young trees creates a mosaic of habitats that is there for a very rich biodiversity. Over half of the population of bears, weve seen the mania. About 40 percent of the world population. We have links, we have wild cats for us are off in value based, they think value the inspirational value of the spiritual value of these forests. They are fragile and they need to be protected. The biggest player in remaining years forestry business is wrong. Silver which is staging and controls about 48 percent of remaining is woodlands. It has been plagued with scandals, sweet deal that they were little funny. Things with the pond starts either when they sell the product, which is wood, or when they buy services. So its the operable problem and theres corruption inside the theodore. Teagan is wrong. Still this newly appointed director having run their operations in iraq county in the east of rumania for the last decade on paper. Hes the most powerful forest in the country. We asked him about claims that there is corruption in rooms over. No. Whats a few assets of up there on expense account on lot they are but when the performer and the financial problem, so there were 4 rooms of the ministers looking and hunting, as well as nature conservation. On the face of it, a conflict of interests. They interests. 2 efik, steve was, or she had said bazzi after all, but the year of the doc might be a faint. That is if youve got to durable for rome. So before 10 years, she was supposed to monitor impacts on the forests of the same in a National Park. But the most she drew attention to the, the worse it became for her. The fear part about us open up a human being would a cat about get on one of the these are the into great thought, doubtful. But all things came to a head when theodore it was awarded to a remote part of the forest by the region of director. But luckily, at the last minute, the driver had a change of heart. If a Sports Company or do some up scene would up she asked out when the price of the chicken or method, but he put us, im not but i absolutely knew she was going to support that shot too. She might be that could be on one thoughts that you thought to keep. But then when she thought for a column sent them clutch of charms is no surprise ted door has no day that they meant to kill that he had thought of that because when he was young, the lock or ledge of the time, i mean the question, the feel of the cut at present bronte at home sealed box and not tell us more that he not this wouldnt have been the 1st time, the troublesome workers. It drums over had been dealt with in the forest. This is the end to milicz. Lists has been always looms nature in his family, looking after them, find homes for stray dogs, a forest ranger for 30 years. Blitzer refused to get involved in illegal more gang stance, which he says put him in an altar with his superiors at rome. Supa, who he says, threatened him. I mean certainly more delay following ship. What . Told me sorry. Sprezzatura in 2018. Milicz it was ambushed in the forest beaten and left for dead. He showed us the hospital reports, i think are crowded. It pushes through a lot these grandchildren, but i was off from school for, of course, for all my teeth, but out of there for all month if i wanted. But i was there for doctor would have with their blood thought it shut your nose, but you forgot the age. Sure. North little bit roams of classified the incident as an industrial accident when after several weeks in hospital, melissa went public in the attack, prompting media coverage. He was fired by roman silva and accused of stealing timber that disappeared whilst he was recovering. Think how sick in the shop i still live when it for the bin at the bottom of this of each. There are distant for a start. Try to defend therefore its from the legal lovers. And some of them were even killed. You know, its a bit 2019 for a stranger living. You pop was shot dead in the forest with his own gun. The latest victim, many ranges a room. So that is part of the problem and claim to witness widespread criminality. What sort of things, even when thats a big market improves to the cost of the last quarter . Most of them also for the documented as of today, do you people, it runs over senior people debate. I was going to shift or call a lot of ruthless sponsor users. I dont like the retorts, which company. So of course it should make it what happens in order to get some money back for us. There is a way that is all this illegal timber because each journey and no one will cost you wish to hold industry swat off, changed its name to the n. H. S. Timber after cavers recording in the in which they admitted to no saying accepting thats paying a bonus for illegal timber they just timber declined to be interviewed in a statement of the company said it no had an action plan for sustainable and secure would supply chain that goes for beyond all the eagle requirements. And that it maintains an open and transparent log with the Civil Society or its representatives the company did. They denied allegations that bring the company in connection with in the counties. The company has wood mills nationwide consuming remains forests and turn astonishing speed in the county of clues rejoined horia. One of a panda volunteer foresters who would create to take his to a site formerly known as beverly. But we could see for ourselves the impact of h. S. Timber. After more than 3 years of evaluating the damage, we reach the number of 4000 big trucks full with the number that went out from here illegally. That big company that bought all the theme better from here 5 114. 00 knew exactly what happened and they didnt do anything. They just made a lot of pro, but in a statement, they just simply contested this claim. It said there was no clear because it told a just in degree in compliance with all boards acquired some volumes of timber from this storm affected by the way the country is being stripped clean of its precious forests. And yet the secretary of state, a former senior official at romes over, is strangely the lamb. Right. Lets put it that it would in fact, and i did see bill management that ive been asked on could just adopt a potentially good and some temple a little for loss would be more costly than thought. Yes there. She generally important but him, but still the forests are disappearing and has been public outrage at government complacency. Most of political polls of wrongdoing have been passed to the authorities, but any attempt to confront illegal logging seems deemed to end in failure. Even in the face of irrefutable evidence. In 28 agents from remain used directorate for investigating organized crime rated h s timbres offices. The prosecutors officially stated that they are investigating a closed for managers of the fight for a company being full in transactions of illegal wards and also forged auctions with them. So however, inexplicably, the case was kicked into the long grass and nothing has been heard about it. Since despite the public outrage of the remaining authorities, in theory, in practical basically nothing happens. The company in georgia completes monopoly on remain new software until the strict forest code was introduced by a new forest minister 2050. Evidently it on one of the larger point. I mean, listen out of the call to see if you can get to neutral field of feeding myself for the benefit of the my well, that raises the volume of their muslim gnostics brought that on live with them, with their college year by not being one minister all in terms of why they must live, but ari over also evil to be of the 2 goals that is the 1000000 of their. What about the minister also brought in a raft of measures in an attempt to close down the trade in illicit timber, which she say incurred the wrath of the forest. My dear aunt, your cousin, when he said theres a politi think its a few scheme that they brought forward, but they didnt fulfill some momentum, but i was not going on their journey through any Satellite Photos lately. Not on my feet, the minister resigned citing ill health. Only later did she reveal the child being poisoned with near fatal doses of mercury. Yet they in the larger cloud of that in them, i know, but its like a mafia. Young commodus young. Going to have to some of these kids, it is that, that almost done just when the governments are so much on water. But the ministers efforts had run if occasions, right across the Timber Industry and h. S. Timber, they were having to look further afield. And a new mill was opened in the form move of the country. Theres a mill, which is very close to the border with ukraine, which is one of the biggest, what males anywhere in europe vos, you can see it from space. This thing has its own right, going into a crime in order to bring these vos trains. So you have these plots along tritons, loaded with logs and timber. Coming into this park to regular basis. There are simply too weak there right now supplying 50 percent of their wood in the main yard. And they had a 50 per cent. Its where encoding caught a congress of the carpet. Yes. So for us as on biology, stand specialist in a cold argy. It doesnt make a big difference because we look at the corporations not from the contravariant of your but from the eco system point of view. Its the same nicholas system, but its hard to imagine this view holding sway in the boardrooms of foreign movie nationals, communities like krona sram, another austrian timber, couldnt drummer. And hes Factoring Service over a 1000000 cheap big metres of chipboard every year. Nearby forests, including the new tour of 2000 suns of 2 new to petra newell of being illegally a lot to service krone. Spends enormous Processing Plant new tour is and is a network of protected areas covering europes mystify the pool and threatened species. And this 1st shot spy activists inside the protected site shows where trees were cut and new roads built to get the logs. And its a potential death knell for the song. We films these 2 trucks leaving to need to renew or carrying illegal timber 1st, the trucks go to it in the us we have been tracing the switch from that protected area to the flow yard and from the shelter yard to wood is being unloaded from trucks loaded onto the trucks, basically decent. No guarantees functioning laundry for illegal wood. And its being sent to crime archons in separation to be sold to furniture companies, including we understand the brunt of these claims. But the company didnt respond to a request for an interview or a statement. For its part, one of the leading Furniture Retailers insists it will cut off any supply fun to have breached its stringent rules on sustainability. But it is easiest said that i can only say that in a clear using about 17 millions cubic meter of a year. Thats quite a, become all the food. And it of course puts a lot of responsibility here to the fire that this would source the responsibly. But it would be impossible to say that there is no any single cubic meter in truth. And that our supply chain that could not have our own code region. Basically i care is the biggest consumer of wood on the planet. It consumes a tree every 2nd and its consuming too many more trees every year. And it is the year before because its growing so fast. And so if youre going to save the worlds forests from consumption for timber and wood products, you have to look at the biggest consumer of this world on the planet. And thats like here. And ikeas very depend on eastern europe, remaining a russia crime. And these are countries with big problems with corruption and gouty. Interestingly, the biggest private forest own in rumania is into investment, which falls within the ikea brand. Creep of companies in forest, in romania are working very hard to implement what they believe is needed to secure illegal and be your own legal acquirements. It is to one of these include forests that thomas whites m. E. P. Joint leader of the european greens has come on a fact finding mission, concerned, not about illegality, but environmental damage. And to lou is another natori 2000 sites. As we approach the Income Property logs littered the roadside, the main problem i see in that forest is actually that kind of road. You see massive erosion down there. Theres like dozens of cubic metres of earth, and it has been spilled into the river, and that river is on the high protection stand there down there. And if you spill all that into the river, youre affecting directly the eco system in the river. And thats not how we do it in the door of 2000 areas. This property is full of old growth forest. The key habitat which supports an abundance of floor and form. And yet, according to the forest action plan, it is these very trees which are to be logged out as a matter of see. The point is also to leave some old trees for the seeds actually for spreading of the seeds. And if we look here, the big trees are completely missing in here. Its not too late to save pantaloon. The plant is to extract the trees here into 2026, so there is still time. But next day, tom jones, im to visits, remain his highest mountain modes of venues. To see what pantaloon mark looked like when the locus of finished its a steep climb through another minute or 2000 sighs. 2 through the mist, glimpses of ancient trees, dams suggest to it must have been an extraordinary landscape. What happened here is that there was a complete, clear cut down on the whole mountain ridge. It makes me feel very sorry, because forests offer a huge opportunity to harvest. Would support biodiversity, the forest is serving us with drinking water. Theyre serving us with fresh air. Theyre crucial for our society. A crucial fall battle against the climate crisis. From the 2nd, the to scale of the devastation be fully understood. However, as awful as the scenes of clear cutting, know, and the post of the story. This is like many times which just a few years ago, it was a famous book with Climate Change remained used for station a sort of direct impacts hand in the past, joined the dry season. Trees provided much needed more shooting there. But with outreach over, the water has evaporated from the lake with tragic consequences. Because the land is not covered by trees. The fact that needed to take it all from what the lines from the lakes, with all this b. S. Is this the fish or the microclimate. This f. B. I. Are in just 3 or 4 years. And if we dont act very fast, its a disaster than we imagined before. But there is still much in rumania that can be saved. And it would be wrong to say that there is no gabriel power and the find of agent green has agreed to take his to the single most important forest in rumania hes driving to a remote spot in the dome of lead National Park where a companion 2019 brought ruled attention to illegal logging. This nation out park is a pall mall of almost all existing species. All florence, all 19 year old. Its paradise. I would say its a kept it all by diversity in European Union. As in the park, we find signs of fresh logging yet that you disaster. Im disgusted and im angry. That government is these respecting its own legislation and the highest Court Decision it in the nation are parked in the space where we are logging should be completely stopped. And sure enough, as we leave, we pass a loading truck coming to pick up the illegal timber for those who wish to save rumanians forests and their endangered inhabitants, there is no rest in their fight against ineffectual governments, powerful multinationals and the tim the mafia. 2950 s.
