Money Logging investigates what Gordon Brown has called "probably the biggest environmental crime of our times"--the massive destruction of the Borneo rainforest by Malaysian loggers.

8° gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. 1. Auflage. 384 Seiten Gebundenes Buch. Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. -----Inhalt. 170 Jahre nach der Gründung als Privatkönigreich gehört die Provinz Sarawak auf der Insel Borneo zu Malaysia und wird von Potentat Taib Mahmud mit eiserner Faust regiert. Neunzig Prozent des Urwalds sind unter seiner Herrschaft verschwunden, dafür hat die Herrscherfamilie ein Milliardenvermögen erworben und rund um den Globus verteilt. Lukas Straumann, Geschäftsführer des in Basel ansässigen Bruno Manser Fonds traf Whistleblower, Indigene und Anwälte, die sich gegen die Zerstörung des tropischen Regenwalds, einen der artenreichsten Lebensräume der Erde, wehren. In den Fußstapfen des verschollenen Umweltschützers Bruno Manser enthüllt er ein Netzwerk von Raffgier, Korruption und Gleichgültigkeit, das von Malaysia bis nach Europa, Südamerika und Australien reicht. Sarawak ist zu einem Epizentrum der Abholzung geworden, von dem aus Holz- und Plantagenkonzerne auf allen Kontinenten operieren, oft illegal und mit bleibenden Schäden für die Umwelt.
