You can't stop this because it's the high ranking government officials that are illegally exporting the timbers.

Reply to this commentThe only way to stop this illegal logging without government officials interrupting and further corruption are to put the law in the hands of the people or every Lao citizen. Let them protect their own territory and if any truck that load with illegal timber must stop and destroy.

Reply to this commentExport ban? Everybody knows that it's government officials to the highest level that are selling the "illegal" Timber to Viet Nam, the trucks are lined up for miles and miles at the boarder crossings. Running them only at night fools nobody. How else will they pay for their Ferrari and RR's while their people are getting trampled under foot, living hand to mouth and forced to eat field rats?

Reply to this commentMr new prime minister Thongloun - do not try to pull the same old craps like the previous "shorty" lao prime mnister Thongsing Thammavong.
His brain was filled with green toxic matter when he said that " during my tenure, I'd been trying to stop those illegal loggings
with so many decrees but nobody listened to me. Where did you people find that I issued any permissions
for these illegal loggings to go on ? "
Unbelievabale comment from such a high ranking official with such a low grade of accountability.
We, lao people, are watching you. Words are nothing with no actions.
