    Considering the rampant pillaging of the Amazon rain forest, countless tons of timber have been illegally cut down.
    According to the first link, Brazil has been estimated to have as much as 50% in illegal logging. So I'm not sure how much to charge if all timber were legal, but I'm sure there would have to be a tremendously larger patrolling force to enforce only legal logging all over the world.
