Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM J. ANTHONY LUKAS BOOK AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 PEN/JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH AWARD FOR NONFICTION FINALIST FOR THE NELLIE BY CHANTICLEER INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FOR JOURNALISTIC NON-FICTION A gripping investigation of the billion-dollar timber black market “and a fascinating examination of the deep and troubled relationship between people and forests” (Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts). There's a strong chance that chair you are sitting on was made from stolen lumber. In Tree Thieves, Lyndsie Bourgon takes us deep into the underbelly of the illegal timber market. As she traces three timber poaching cases, she introduces us to tree poachers, law enforcement, forensic wood specialists, the enigmatic residents of former logging communities, environmental activists, international timber cartels, and indigenous communities along the way. Old-growth trees are invaluable and irreplaceable for both humans and wildlife, and are the oldest living things on earth. But the morality of tree poaching is not as simple as we might think: stealing trees is a form of deeply rooted protest, and a side effect of environmental preservation and protection that doesn't include communities that have been uprooted or marginalized when park boundaries are drawn. As Bourgon discovers, failing to include working class and rural communities in the preservation of these awe-inducing ecosystems can lead to catastrophic results. Featuring excellent investigative reporting, fascinating characters, logging history, political analysis, and cutting-edge tree science, Tree Thieves takes readers on a thrilling journey into the intrigue, crime, and incredible complexity sheltered under the forest canopy.

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Theft of wood has become a major problem in North America, from the Pacific Northwest to the eastern and southern United States. It has become a problem in every national forest, according to forest officials. #2 There are many forms of natural theft in the world, and forests are no exception. The Forest Service estimates that $100 million worth of wood is poached yearly from public lands in the United States, and $1 billion worth of wood is poached yearly globally. #3 Poaching is a property crime, but it is unique in its bounty and setting. When old-growth trees are poached, they become stolen goods, and their impact on the environment is far-reaching. #4 I wanted to understand why someone would steal a tree, and the answer I found was rooted in the disintegration of community in the face of economic and cultural change.
