The Danish Burma Teak Report

ဖော်ပြချက်/အကြောင်းအရာ: 

"..a report on the huge Danish import of teak from Burma and about the importers, misinformed customers and eyewitnesses to the destruction of the country with the highest rate of deforestation in South East Asia... This report is a result of conversations with Danish importers and retailers of teak from Burma, research among Burma NGOs in Chiang Mai (Thailand), and research over the Internet. Other sources that have also been contacted are Global Witness (London), Burma Centrum Netherlands (Holland), Nepenthes (Denmark) and World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) among others. The report uses the term ‘Burma teak?. This refers to teak that was grown in Burma, and does not refer any teak of high quality no matter its country of origin. The identity of some sources in the timber industry, the marine industry and a number of organisations remain anonymous because we found it of higher importance that the information was revealed than their names made public... Table of contents: Section 1: Danish import of Burma teak: 1A): Denmark holds the EU record; 1B): How does the Burma teak get to Denmark? 1C): How do we use Burma teak? 1D): Is it harmful?... Section 2: The importers: 2A): Dalhoff Larsen & Hornemann (DLH); 2B): Aalborg Trae & Finer; 2C): International Hardwood; 2D): International Veneer; 2E): Dansk Trælast and M&S Hindenburg; Section 3: The retailers...
