Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican authorities have recovered 66 containers of wood that had been illegally exported to China, the Minister for Land and Environment, Ivete Maibaze said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The 66 containers are part of a batch of 76, exported illegally in December via the port of Pemba, in Cabo Delgado province, the minister said, during the opening of a coordinating council of the Ministry for Land and Environment, held in Maputo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe return of the remaining 10 is currently underway and we believe that they will arrive,\u201d said Maibaze, adding that a process is underway at the Attorney General\u2019s Office to hold those involved accountable.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the Mozambican and Chinese authorities have a memorandum of understanding to ensure that wood illegally exported from Mozambique is returned.<\/p>\n

Several national and international reports have indicated that Mozambique is the scene of environmental crimes, mainly illegal logging, warning of the consequences of high levels of deforestation<\/p>\n

As a way to reduce the pressure on forest resources, restrictive measures have been applied in the last five years to reverse the scenario.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the Mozambican government issued new rules for the exploitation and export of wood, to curb the rampant felling of native species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
