A devastating report about the destruction of tropical forests by multinational companies has been suppressed for three years by the European commission and World Wide Fund for Nature.The report named companies prepared to bribe and bully their way to lucrative logging concessions. It also blamed the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank for inducing countries to sell their forests for a quick cash return to pay off debts to western countries.
