  - - - Early Logging: Malaysia started logging during the colonial period to harvest hardwoods like teak and meranti for construction and furniture.
        
        Logging Boom: After World War II, logging took off, becoming a big part of Malaysia's economy, providing jobs and income.
        
        Environmental Impact: Logging grew fast but caused problems like deforestation, loss of wildlife, and soil erosion, especially in places like Sabah and Sarawak.
        
        Government Action: Malaysia introduced rules to manage logging and promote sustainable practices, like selective logging and replanting trees.
        
        Sustainability Efforts: Malaysia now focuses more on sustainable logging, with certifications like MTCS to ensure wood meets global standards.
        
        Illegal Logging: Despite rules, illegal logging stayed a problem due to high demand for valuable wood and weak enforcement.
