during the transition in the government, people have been illegally hunting and logging in marojejy national park and other conservation areas in madagascar. while the new malagasy government is otherwise preoccupied and some park rangers have left their posts, armed groups are cutting down valuable rosewood trees. laws prohibiting the export of rosewood were repealed in january 2009, so the illegally acquired logs can be sold and exported for profit. thousands of local people were involved in cutting a documented 123,000 rosewood logs representing an estimated 45,000 rosewood trees from marojejy, masoala and makira national parks between january–october 2009, with at least 871 containers already exported to china between march–april 2009 alone from the vohemar and toamasina ports. floating the rosewood logs down rivers also requires cutting of 4–5 lighter trees, and several rosewood species are endangered or occur at low densities below 1–5 trees per hectare. numerous new access paths are created and some individuals built a 6-kilometer-long road into a remote northern park to transport the logs. some ships land directly on the coast to pick up the logs, rather than at government-controlled ports. bribery of customs officials has been reported. radio commercials have been aired seeking workers to help in the process. extracting resources from these conservation areas is likely to threaten already critically endangered species such as the silky sifaka lemur, one of the top 25 most endangered primates in the world. a statement jointly released by several non-governmental organizations criticized the logging and hunting occurring in national parks, illegal mining, and slash-and-burn farming occurring in madagascar. the joint statement said that "these deplorable acts will only further impoverish the country and deprive future generations of the malagasy people from their unique natural heritage." the groups who issued the statement were world wide fund for nature, conservation international, wildlife conservation society, missouri botanical garden, durrell wildlife conservation trust, institute for the conservation of tropical environment, the peregrine fund, ong fanamby, madagascar fauna group, l'homme et l'environnement, and plant resources for tropical africa.

concurrently, trees were cut on the opposite slope, between the ski run and the topčider cemetery. after the residents occupied the area, city stated that they are replacing trees with the new and healthy ones. cutting of the trees came as the continuation of the constant cutting of the trees in belgrade, including the neighborhood of ušće and the kalemegdan park. goran trivan, minister of environmental protection, said that citizens are overdramatizing as the "tree is a renewable resource". as the cutting continued, and protests grew, it was discovered that the company officially entrusted with the cutting of the trees, belongs to one of the top city officials and member of the ruling serbian progressive party, chief city urbanist marko stojčić. after this was made public, a document which confirmed this was swiftly removed from the site of the institute for sports, which is in charge of the project. it was also made public that the cut trees have been transported to the house of a local representative and member of the same party, who claimed that he "paid for it".
