Governor Somroeng Punnayopakorn has ordered an inquiry into ongoing logging in Salween national park. Mr Somroeng said 255 logs were recently discovered near the park office. Many of the logs showed clear signs they had been felled with chainsaws only four or five days prior to the discovery, he said. In addition, forestry teams had found more than 1,000 teak logs and another 10,000 golden teak tree stumps in Salween national park since March 9. A forestry source said this meant as many as 30,000 teak logs had been illegally hauled out of the forest. Some were believed to have been transported by truck to sawmills operating in Tak province, Thailand.
