A\u00a0new investigation<\/a>\u00a0takes a look behind the scenes to detail how the Austrian timber giant Holzindustrie Schweighofer, one of the largest wood processors in Romania, continues to fuel the destruction of Europe\u2019s last old growth forests, in spite of five years of pledges not to source timber from national parks or protected areas.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) Report\u00a0Behind the Scenes<\/a>\u00a0takes detailed look at the Austrian timber giant Holzindustrie Schweighofer activities in Romania.<\/p>\n

EIA used Romania's ground breaking public timber tracking website called Forest Inspector, to systematically study the sourcing operations of several Schweighofer suppliers as they cut wood in two national parks in Romania\u2019s Carpathian Mountains. EIA visited these sites and documented large-scale, sometimes illegal, commercial logging in the both the Rodna Mountains and Calimani National Parks.<\/p>\n

According to data compiled by EIA, companies that supply Schweighofer have harvested at least 35,000 cubic meters from these two parks in an 18-month time period through June 2018. On-the-ground research tracked logs from these parks to local wood depots that supply Schweighofer, says EIA.<\/p>\n

Schweighofer's extensive sourcing from third-party log yards - approximately 45% of its Romanian log purchases \u2013 exposes the company to wood from national parks, as well as to illegal logging and other unsustainable practices, EIA accuses.<\/p>\n

EIA also found that other large multinational companies in Romania, like Kronospan and Egger have similar sourcing issues.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
