Terrible ; A recent study into illegal logging in Mozambique – carried out by the University of Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) – found that at least two-thirds of all logging in the country is unlicensed and that illegal harvesting has increased by 88 percent between 2007 and 2012. The study, published today and funded by the EU FAO FLEGT Programme, suggests that while around 300 000 metres³ of timber were licensed for harvesting in 2012, almost 900 000 metres³ were actually felled.fao.org/forestry/eu-flegt/85805/en/
