Multiple Impacts of Illegal Logging: A key to Deforestation Over the Globe

Abstract

This article describes the main impacts of the illegal logging activities with emphasis on the most important deforestation affected regions; Indonesia, Bangladesh, Australia, India, Peninsular Malaysia, and Pakistan. Although the discussion is concentrated on the socioeconomic, environmental and governance impacts, it must be stressed that the term deforestation is the roadmap where the environmental values, the economy, and welfare of forest-dependent communities are crushed without any kindness. Despite multiple efforts, the results in the combat of illegal logging are far from satisfactory. Furthermore, governments and businesses must implement the triple bottom line concept in order to achieve sustainability.

“…Some well-known negative environmental impacts of forest degradation and deforestation include torrential rainfalls, soil erosion, damaged landscapes, and emission of greenhouse gases (Khalid et al 2019). Furthermore, unsustainable forest management practices such as the removal of harvest residues, the conversion of primary forests to plantation forests, and site preparation can reduce soil organic carbon stocks significantly (Mayer et al 2020).…”

“…Furthermore, unsustainable forest management practices such as the removal of harvest residues, the conversion of primary forests to plantation forests, and site preparation can reduce soil organic carbon stocks significantly (Mayer et al 2020). Along with nutrient and carbon stock losses from soil disturbances, deforestation and unsustainable forest management can cause habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss (Khalid et al 2019).…”
