	The Timber Industry
		Timber has played a significant role in Indonesia's economic development and continues to be the country's second most valuable exports trailing behind oil.
		Timber exports have been going downhill since the ban on logs was implemented in 1980, when revenues well exceeded US$2 billion.
		During the boom of the 1970s, the timber industry was characterised by large multi-national corporations linking with local firms to export logs.

		The industry is certain that the relatively small areas containing high volumes of commercial timber can be harvested without any detrimental impact on either the frog or the catchment's other important values.
		Although the industry has experienced major change over the past 15 years, it continues to play a critical role in the region's economy and is a major employer in numerous communities across north-eastern Victoria.
		Industry is looking to the North-East Regional Forest Agreement and Forest Management Plan to provide security of access to no less than the existing quality and quantity of timber resource.

		The history of the timber industry began when the Russian Timber Exchange was established at the beginning of the year.
		At the end of the year, a number of major timber industry players, such as the Eksportles foreign economic organization and the Russian Timber Merchants' concern, were transformed into joint-stock companies, with the state losing its shares in their capital.
		The timber can go to a sawmill (in the same logging enterprise or a large woodworking combine) and be turned into various building materials from boards to chipboard sheets, which are in demand on both the foreign and domestic markets.

	Kommersant - Russia's Daily Online
		The most important events in the Russian forest and pulp and paper industries in the last four years were the changes in corporate governance of companies, the start of the formation of vertically integrated, specialized holdings, and the search by investors for forest industry niches that were unoccupied for historical reasons.
		The changes in corporate governance in the forest industry during Putin's presidency are not only the consequence of the forest wars, but also of the fact that the large players increased their planning horizon.
		The forest industry complex was another industry where Alfa was seen as a successful “broker”, that is, a specialist in preparing industrial facilities for investors with a professional interest in these assets.

	Malaysia :: Timber industry at early stage of boom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		In its annual outlook report 2005, the firm said the industry was at an early stage of a timber boom and that timber prices were expected to remain firm because of the recovery in the Japanese economy due to a pick-up in the housing sector, leading to firmer demand for plywood.
		It said growth in the timber sector would be boosted by healthy economic growth in China and India due to strong demand for wood-based products coming from those countries, coupled with constrained supply from Indonesia as a result of tighter enforcement.
		The timber sector is a major economic component of the Malaysian economy, generating 4.4% of total export earnings in 2003.

	Timber Industry - 10/10/1995
		Timber industry workers and their families have been callously and needlessly traumatised by the false claims of the honourable member for Monaro and his cronies that the deferred forest area process would cause social dislocation.
		Timber workers, sawmill owners and dependent small businesses can be confident there will be no job losses as a result of DFAs.
		The anxiety and concern in the industry resulted from the Labor Party's introduction and support of the Endangered Fauna (Interim Protection) Bill and the South East Forests Protection Bill and its support of the honourable member for Bligh in her undermining of the timber industry.

	Timber Industry Reaches Settlement - ALC Communications Center
		Under the settlement to lawsuits originally brought in 1994, BLM agreed that timber production is the primary purpose of the 2.2 million-acre checkerboard of federal timberlands in Western Oregon known as the O&C Lands, where 50 percent of timber revenues collected by the government go to local counties.
		Environmentalists said the settlement was based on a lawsuit that the timber industry had little chance of winning, and marked the falling into place of the last of five proposals the timber industry had made to the Bush Administration to make logging easier under the Northwest Forest Plan.
		The reserves on BLM lands that the timber industry wants to dissolve are a crucial part of the network of habitats crated by the Northwest Forest Plan, she added.

	Bush to stay out of forest fracas in visit to state
		Timber industry attorneys shaped changes the Bush administration has proposed to the Northwest Forest Plan, which put large swaths of forest off-limits to the chain saw, records show.
		But administration officials and the timber industry say the changes are merely designed to increase the timber cut to match levels envisioned by the Clinton administration when it adopted the plan.
		Instead of the 1.1 billion board-feet of timber envisioned for harvest annually in the plan, an average of about 200 million board-feet a year actually has been taken, said Tom Partin, president of the American Forest Resource Council, a Portland-based timber industry group.

	The Alaska State Chamber of Commerce :: Industry Information :: Timber Industry
		As long as the timber supply from federal lands (which constitute about 80% of the land in Southeast Alaska) continues to grow and as long as the new Forest Supervisor continues to make timber sale economics a priority, the industry now begin growing back to a viable, sustainable level.
		The manufacturing facilities around Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula are struggling to find sufficient “green” timber sales to sustain their operations because the State timber sale program has been focused on salvaging as much of the beetle-killed timber as possible.
		Much of the uncertainty over the timber supply in Southeast Alaska has been resolved with the completion of the federal land management plans and the congressional action to finally bring an end to the appeals and lawsuits over the plan.

	Timber Industry: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Although the lumber industry in the south had been growing ever since the Civil War, it was not until the 1880s that declining resources in the Lake States pushed the industry into the South.
		It was probably because of a migrating industry that the South received enormous amounts of capital, technology, and logging know-how from the North in the 1880s.
		But dwindling timber resources in the Lake States forced people to rethink this notion, and soon the South was an appetizing territory with vast supplies that could be substituted for what used to come out the North.

	Timber industry current position outlook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The native wood based industries are an important component of the economy of the Central Highlands and surrounding regions.
		Estimates of gross value and employment from the sawmilling and pulpwood processing industries were calculated on a pro-rata basis, by multiplying the percentage of total wood intake that is sourced from the Central Highlands region for these industries by the relevant total employment or gross value of production figures.
		Drawing on available multipliers for the forest based industries in the Victorian economy, it is estimated that the value of turnover from the sawmilling and pulpwood processing industries receiving hardwood resources from the Central Highlands contribute $170 million and $496 million respectively to state output.

		Critics charge the changes are aimed at pleasing the timber industry at the expense of forest ecosystems.
		Critics of the bill argue that it will make it easier for timber companies to log large fire-resistant trees in remote parts of the forest and ignore the needs of at-risk communities who need help clearing flammable brush from the immediate areas surrounding their homes and property.
		The agricultural, timber and energy industries strongly support the new policy plan, having long complained about the costs of ecosystem-wide modifications that the ESA requires businesses to make to roads, farms and dams to protect the salmon habitats.
