Helping to Deforestation in Brazil and Indonesia.
Logging world-wide is big business, many countries have taken advantage over the last fifty years of growing forestry mostly pine trees of various kinds. The trucks developed for military vehicle transportation after world-war-II (1939-45), were thus employed to this new role.
Traditionally logging was done with horses pulling one log at a time, but these days are now long gone. Many new machines have been developed, even to cut out manpower and trees are even processed and trucked to the various mills.
Brazil and Indonesia are seeing the worlds fastest deforestation, with little or no new growth being introduced. In Brazil deforested land is used for farming, while in Indonesia natural forests are being replaced with Palm oil trees that are not suitable.
