The recently obtained video shows loggers hauling the trees out of the forests by hand. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080324/HDNETLOGO) Each of these trees is worth thousands of dollars on the international market, but the desperate residents of Madagascar are cutting them down for only a few dollars a day. The images presented in this story were taped as a part of an undercover investigation by two international conservation groups, looking to make the case for prosecutions in the trade of these trees and prosecution of foreign businesses who use this illegal wood for their products.
