In this June 25, 2016, photo, environmental activists who aim to combat illegal logging, walk past tree stumps and dead trees in what use to be a forest in Chaung Gwet, in northern Sagaing division, Myanmar. Myanmar is struggling to stop illegal logging that has erased one-quarter of the country’s valuable forests in a generation. Teak, rosewood and other rare hardwoods continue to be cut down, despite a government ban, the Associated Press found on a recent trip to the country’s north. China and India are the biggest markets for the timber by far. (Photo by Gemunu Amarasinghe/AP Photo)
