CHAPTER 3 : Resource and exploitation

Stages in exploitation
  1. Preparation: areas to be exploited are surveyed, tracked and roads constructed
  2. Felling: power engine saws are used to fell down trees. They are cut in logs, peeled or debarked and tracked out of the forest.
  3. Extraction: transportation of logs is by roads, railways, rivers to saw mills or to port for export
  4. Replanting: new seedlings of more variable species are planted in exploited regions by the timber companies
