Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 87 – CITES Convention is Nigh

New species nominations

This episode I catch up on some questions submitted via email and give an update on the Amazon Rainforest fires, a beetle cure, and a lumber laundering scheme.

Industry News

The CITES convention opens next week and there are several major species being proposed for Appendix I and II.  Ipe, Cumaru, Padauk, Pernambuco, and Khaya are all on the docket along with a few others less known species.

In a related story, the famous Cellist, Yo-Yo Ma speaks out against the Appendix I proposal for Pernambuco.
