Savannakhet police recently seized 80 pieces of rosewood, after receiving a tip off from a local man to check a suspicious truck seen in the area. Customs officials told the Pathet Lao newspaper on Friday the truck was travelling from Kaysone Phomvihane district to Outhomphone district when they stopped it to conduct a search. Whilst inspecting the contents of the load, police discovered a quantity of rosewood on the back of the truck, which may have been illegally logged. The driver of the truck, a Vietnamese man named Mr Tong, told police he had no idea that there was rosewood on board and said he was merely a driver. He said he collected the load of wood at No 10 factory in Nakham village and was to take it to another destination. Police confiscated the truck and the wood, which will be held at the customs depot until the owner of the wood can produce the necessary documentation to certify that it is legal.

 JVC works for community development, peace exchange and emergency relief. Japan Times, December 21, 2011
Decades after gaining independence, Laos still needs outside support for its agriculture sector, the country’s major industry. The Southeast Asian country, which was mostly covered in dense tropical forests until the 1960s, has been suffering from food shortages and deforestation. The nongovernmental organization Japan International Volunteer Center, or JVC, which is engaged in humanitarian aid in nine developing countries including Laos, Afghanistan and Sudan, has been providing aid to improve the lives of Laotians since 1989. The NGO, a regular recipient of The Japan Times Readers’ Fund, this year received ¥184,191 from the fund to train Laotians in agriculture, and the newspaper is currently soliciting donations from readers to support similar activities by the group.
