Cameroon has many forests and is a very important "green lung" of Africa.

However, many trees are now being illegally cut down, and the forest area is getting smaller and smaller.

Most of these trees are sold to Asia and Europe, especially China.

Although the Cameroonian government has laws to protect forests, some companies still secretly cut down trees and then use fake documents to transport the timber abroad.

This practice affects both Cameroon's economy and environment.
