"the then president of Brazil said he would reveal which countries were the consumers of the illegally extracted wood from Amazonia." Could one of those countries be China? In Madagascar a decade ago, the felling of hardwood trees (even in supposedly protected national parks) was said to be largely driven by the Chinese furniture industry, and often when I passed a logging operation while cycling, there were Chinese overseeing the work. Considering Brazil–China trade links, no surprise if the then-president didn’t want to rock that boat.
