China’s Voracious Appetite for Timber Stokes Fury in Russia and Beyond

After sharply restricting logging in its own forests, China turned to 
imports, overwhelming even a country with abundant resources: Russia.

>From the Altai Mountains to the Pacific Coast, logging is ravaging Russia’s 
vast forests, leaving behind swathes of scarred earth studded with dying 
stumps.

The culprit, to many Russians, is clear: China.

Since China began restricting commercial logging in its own natural forests 
two decades ago, it has increasingly turned to Russia, importing huge 
amounts of wood in 2017 to satisfy the voracious appetite of its 
construction companies and furniture manufacturers.

“In Siberia, people understand they need the forests to survive,” said 
Eugene Simonov, an environmentalist who has studied the impact of commercial 
logging in Russia’s Far East. “And they know their forests are now being 
stolen.”

Russia has been a witting collaborator, too, selling Chinese companies 
logging rights at low cost and, critics say, turning a blind eye to logging 
beyond what is legally allowed.
