Two Afghans saw a massive tree so that it’s flat on all sides for easier stacking at a local saw mill in downtown Asadabad, Afghanist, Nov. 13, 2009. There is currently a ban on cutting new timber in Afghanistan and members from the Provincial Reconstruction Team-Kunar based atCamp Wright in Asadabad, along with members from the Department of State, stopped at the sawmill to ask locals how the timber industry works and how Afghans might prosper if the ban was lifted. Prior to 2001 and under Taliban Law, massive deforestation of the country side was permitted and Afghans moved large quantities

Prior to 2001 and under Taliban Law, massive deforestation of the country side was permitted and Afghans moved large quantities of logs into storage centers for profit, where the trees wait for processing on an individual tree by tree request.
