Highlights UK's role in global deforestation through timber imports, advocating for domestic production
Dr Cameron introduces the concept of 'exporting extinction' to shift the moral burden from domestic forestry to international ecological harm caused by offshoring timber needs.
“Studies on timber consumption show that wealthy nations are responsible for global forest loss beyond their borders, causing biodiversity loss through demand for timber products grown in other countries, and are in effect “exporting extinction” (Wiebe & Wilcove 2025, Nature 63: 389–394).”
