UPDATE ON ILLEGAL LOGGING IN MADAGASCAR
Date:2009 November 6,

1. (SBU) Summary : The forestry sector in Madagascar continues to be decimated by rampant unsustainable and ILLEGAL PRACTICES . Insufficient monitoring of the situation makes it difficult to ascertain the true dimensions of the problem, but a recent report issued by scientists associated with MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN indicate that AT LEAST 871 containers of rosewood HAVE LEFT the country SINCE APRIL[2009], and AT LEAST another 271 containers are AWAITING EXPORT in one PORT in NORTHERN Madagascar. Between 30,000 and 65,000 precious hardwood trees have been cut in TWO NATIONAL PARKS ALONE, deteriorating nearly 6,500 hectares of what should be protected forest and jeopardizing the livelihoods of local communities depending on the forest. An inter-ministerial order to export unprocessed precious hardwoods, combined with extremely limited capacity and seemingly inconsistent political will at multiple levels of the Government of Madagascar, have created an enabling environment for illicit behavior that has long-term economic, environmental and social consequences. While the Government of Madagascar issued a new inter-ministerial order requiring documentation of precious woods destined for export and has also seized illegal stocks of wood in recent weeks, these efforts are inconsistent and ineffective to date to address the magnitude of the problem. The ABSENCE OF RESPECT FOR RULE OF LAW, as reflected in the forestry sector, and ONGOING ILLICIT BEHAVIOR is of significant concern. End Summary.

2. (U) On September 21, 2009 an inter-ministerial decree was issued for the EXCEPTIONAL export of non-processed precious woods from Madagascar. The DECREE authorized up to 25 containers each of precious woods, including rosewood, ebony and palissandre, for 13 operators. Wood was to come from EXISTING STOCKS [...]

Knowledgeable local and international CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS operating in Madagascar indicate that the AMOUNT of wood to be exported EXCEEDS the amount that should be AVAILABLE for LEGITIMATELY STOCKED WOOD (e.g. hard woods that fell during cyclones), as ALL CUTTING of these species has been completely SUSPENDED SINCE 2002. [...] the inter-ministerial ORDER appears to DIRECTLY CONTRADICT NUMEROUS LONG-STANDING LAWS and REGULATIONS passed to promote a sustainable forestry sector in Madagascar. [...]

4. (SBU) While it is difficult to truly get a sense of the magnitude of the problem, Missouri Botanical Gardens reports EVIDENCE that AT LEAST 271 containers are currently at one port in the north of Madagascar awaiting export. Given the KNOWN HUNDREDS OF CONTAINERS THAT HAVE ALREADY LEFT Madagascar, it is clear that there is ILLEGAL WOOD LEAVING THE COUNTRY . [...]

6. (SBU) Most of the illegal woods appear to be destined for China, according to preliminary observations from an investigation undertaken by Global Witness and the Environmental Investigation Agency. COMPANIES AND OPERATORS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, including one German company. One American company has been named, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service is cooperating with other agencies to investigate the nature of the company’s rosewood imports. Recent updates to the Lacey Act require American companies to provide documentation of legal sources of imported plant materials.

7. (U) On November 4, 2009 the United States Congress passed a BINDING RESOLUTION introduced by Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) CONDEMNING THE ILLEGAL PLUNDERING OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN MADAGASCAR . The resolution calls for importing countries to intensify monitoring and inspection processes to ensure they do not contribute to demand for illegally sourced wood ; action to be taken within Madagascar to stop illegal activities and BRING THOSE RESPONSIBLE TO JUSTICE ; and FOR DEMOCRATIC RULE TO BE RETURNED TO THE ISLAND.
