Incredibly, America has no law against importing illegally harvested wood into the U.S. Yet the insatiable demand for cheap wood products and luxury hardwoods in the United States, Europe and Japan drives illegal logging operations worldwide -- logging that destroys vital habitat for endangered orangutans, tigers, and other wildlife.
Take action now to save orangutans and other wildlife threatened by illegal logging. Urge your Senators to support the Wyden-Alexander Amendment to the 2007 Federal Farm Bill which would make it a crime in America to knowingly import, sell, buy or transport illegally-sourced wood and wood products.
We signed the “Stop Illegal Logging and Protect Wildlife Worldwide” petition!

If you would not accept it happening in your own country, then why do you encourage it to happen in other countries? Do not provide a motivation for illegal logging by buying such products! Please support the Wyden-Alexander Amendment!
