Illegal Logging in Madagascar

MASOALA NATIONAL PARK, MADAGASCAR - AUGUST 21, 2009: The valuable red/pink core is seen on a felled rosewood tree, after a Malagasi worker chopped it down with his axe. Despite its enormous sales value, each worker is paid less than USD $4 per day. Most are local villagers from the surrounding area with little experience in forestry. Injuries are common and much of the wood is wasted during extraction. (Photo by Toby Smith/Getty Images Reportage)
