It doesn't seem to me to make economic sense - I guess the cost of imported timber must be so cheap, inc transport costs, to make it worthwhile. Thanks for pointing out the connection; I'm aware of problems with illegal felling in the Amazon rain forests and also with gorillas and orang utans and their habitat, but the tiger connection with Siberia is a new one.
