Man and beast face off in Sumatra (World Page A8)
Q1) What is illegal logging?
Q2) What can you do to stop the Sumatran tiger from extinction?
ANSWER
Q1) Illegal logging can be described as forestry practices or activities connected with wood harvesting, processing and trade which is breaking the law. Illegalities occur right through the chain from source to consumer, the harvesting procedure itself may be illegal, including corrupt, extraction without permission or from a protected area, cutting of protected species or extraction of timber in excess of agreed limits. Illegalities may also occur during transport, including illegal processing and export as well as misdeclaration to customs, before the timber enters the legal market. Examples: clear-cutting natural forest, then failing to replant, ignoring selective cutting guidelines and so on.
Q2) I can give some opinion to the government by giving him that Singapore need to do more protected area to stop them for illegal logging so that the Sumatran tiger will decrease from extinction as this is the part which government should do to protect the extinction animals. If this doesn't work, they should sent some polices to petrol some place where the people will illegal logging at there like forest, to catch them form illegal logging. Government also can build some huts and inside put a lot of foods for the Sumatra tiger and let them live more comfortable. The poachers or hunters wanted to kill the Sumatran Tigers is just only selling their skins or internal organs for money so the police can tell the collector to get their information. If the police have the information they could easily caught them. I can also paste some poster on illegal logging and its write about this: Please stop illegal logging! You may hurt or even killed the animals like Sumatran tiger and now it going to be extinction. If any people saw somebody illegal logging please contact this hotline example "61234567".
