highlands. Much of the natural forest in Sekong has never been commercially logged, but this is changing fast. Commercial timber extraction has been expanding rapidly over the past decade. There is growing pressure on Sekong to log its forests – both from

The revenue to the state from sale of timber was also very substantial, estimated to be US$ 10.35 per
