China's Output of Timber Continues to Decline

China's output of timber in the first two months of 2000 plummeted 11.5 percent on an annual basis to 6.11 million cubic meters, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

The Chinese government has imposed ban on irrational lumbering in many forest areas, particularly those on the upper reaches of major rivers in a bid to curb soil erosion.

Many experts have blamed the excessive logging of trees in the past as one of the major reasons for the devastating flooding in southern and northeastern China in the summer of 1998.
