    Rainforest mafia floors Canadian homes The Asian Pacific Post, Canada
    Undercover environmental investigators have unveiled what they are calling the “world‘s biggest timber smuggling racket“ claiming Canada is one of the leading importers of Merbau wood stolen from Indonesia‘s tropical forests.

    The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Telapak, an Indonesian eco-group, are now calling on Canada and the US to ban the importation of the wood which is turned into flooring products in China.
