Nevertheless, form a timber extractor's point of view, it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to get something for nothing that is represented by primary forest logging. The returns are enormous, often 50%, and the risk is small. However, consumer awareness and concern is growing, and this is begining to be reflected in wood product trade statistics. Austria's 1992 Tropical Timber Labeling Act was one of the first side attempts to place limits on rainforest destruction associated with logging. The 1990s have seen several other initiatives begin. Furthermore, wood product conservation and recycling is growing rapidly around the world, and alternative fiber sources are poised to emerge.
