The paper describes the logging practices followed by timber extractors in Peru's Amazon lowland under the conditions of the old forest law, revealing differences among types of extractors.

Forestry officials and law enforcement officers who are in the pockets of corrupt logging firms often turn a blind eye to activities that threaten the sustainable management of a forest’s biodiversity. Similarly, fishery inspectors endanger stocks when they accept bribes to ignore official quotas for trawlers.
