The timber comes from African countries where rain forests are disappearing rapidly by illegal and destructive logging. These marked trunks were later found back all over the country in provinces like Friesland, Drenthe, Gelderland and Overijssel. In original language:Bossen Actie Beschilderen Tropisch HardhoutGreenpeace activisten beschilderen grote boomstammen tropisch hardhout met millieuvriendelijke rode verf en laten een spandoek zien met een boze gorilla en de tekst: "Get out of my forest!" oftewel: "Ga mijn bos uit!" Het hout is afkomstig uit Afrikaanse landen waar de regenwouden op grote schaal verdwijnen door illegale en verwoestende houtkap. Deze gemarkeerde boomstammen zijn verspreid over Nederland teruggevonden bij acht bedrijven in Friesland, Zuid-Holland, Drenthe, Noord-Brabant, Gelderland en Overijssel. Ongeveer 50% van al het tropisch hardhout in Nederland is illegaal gekapt.
