Illegal logging in Mexico is a big problem, with a lot of timber being cut down illegally. This illegal timber is used just as much as the legal timber in the market. The construction and manufacturing industries are the main drivers of this demand. The illegal logging also affects the productivity of the timber industry, making it hard for legal timber to compete. This issue involves everyone and needs society's help to fix it.
