There's a strong chance that chair you are sitting on was made from stolen lumber, suggests Lyndsie Bourgon, whose exposé goes deep into the underbelly of the illegal timber market. As Bourgon investigates three different cases, the colorful cast includes poachers, forensic wood specialists, environmental activists, international timber cartels, and indigenous communities. It's far from a tale of heroes and villains, however, and Bourgon also notes how attempts to protect fragile ecosystems can sometimes leave behind the humans that live in them.
