Illegal logging in Quảng Nam
Local administration and provincial agencies are investigating illegal logging in the Bắc Trà My District’s protective forest. Trần Anh Tuấn, Chairman of the district’s People’s Committee, confirmed the ongoing investigation to the Việt Nam News on March 15, saying that the illegal forest destruction has occurred in Trà Sơn and Trà Giác communes – some 70km away from the provincial capital Tam Kỳ City. Tuấn said the district, in co-operation with provincial rangers, examined the destroyed area in the two communes, finding that four big logs were cut down.
