※ 引述《zerozer (家宅之人)》之铭言： : http://news.mongabay.com/2009/11818-gibson.html : GIBSON周二遭到突击搜查 : 原因是涉嫌使用非法盗采的雨林木材 : 字太多了 有兴趣的版友可以仔细瞧瞧 x__x 不负责翻译。 隶属美国鱼类和野生生物保护局的联邦干员在周二午後突袭了G8森的吉他工厂，原因为 G8森疑似使用来自马达加斯加的非法砍伐木材，以下是来自那什维尔的报导。 Federal agents from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service raided Gibson Guitar's factory Tuesday afternoon, due to concerns that the company had been using illegally harvested wood from Madagascar, reports the Nashville Post. G8森没有一位员工在突袭行动中遭到逮捕，但是干员扣留了几箱吉他，木头，电脑，及 档案。鱼类和野生生物保护局是根据「雷斯法案(请自行Google，总之是一个进口木材及 相关产品之检察规定法案)」来采取行动的，而这个法案是用来规范美国一些需要取得自 然资源及制造产品的公司。 No one from the company was arrested during the raid but agents seized boxes of guitars, wood, computers, and boxes of files. The Fish and Wildlife Service took action under the Lacey Act, which holds U.S. companies to environmental laws in the countries from where they source plant and wildlife products. 马达加斯加近几个月来在「玫瑰木」及「黑檀木」遭到了盗伐，而这些木材正是G8森 被指控使用的(按：G8森应该有得罪谁吧？不是一堆吉他都有用到这两项木材？虽然说 现在都是India Rosewood比较常见....李组长眉头一皱，发现案情并不单纯)。而这样 子的非法动作是发生在马达加斯加政变蕴酿发生之後的一段时间(这段不确定)。而非法 被运出的物品中还包含了被屠宰的即将绝种的狐猴(这也是G8森干的吗？他们要这个干 嘛？做新生意吗？)。 Madagascar's rainforests have been plundered in recent months for rosewood and ebony, the woods Gibson Guitar is accused of using. The illicit harvesting to hardwoods in Madagascar has occurred in the aftermath of a coup which disposed the island nation's president. Illegal logging has also been linked with the slaughter of endangered lemurs. 老美官方近来加强了海关的监控，以及对来自马达加斯加的木头产品的监视以求抓到 非法的交易。 U.S. authorities have recently intensified customs monitoring and inspection of wood products from Madagascar to stem illegal trade. 在2009年十月於马达加斯加的短期湾被抓到的船队，载运着非法采收的玫瑰木。 Boats carrying illegally harvested rosewood in Antongil Bay, Madagascar in October 2009. 玫瑰木在Maroantsetra, Madagascar的海岸被运上岸。G8森发布了新闻稿来回应这样 的一个突袭行动，G8森说：「我们100%与来自美国鱼类和野生生物保护局的干员合作 ，而这正是为了与砍伐木头的一个议题做连结。」 Rosewood logs on a beach in Maroantsetra, Madagascar.

Gibson Guitar responded to the raid with a press release, saying it is "fully cooperating with agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in connection with an issue involving harvested wood." 而G8森亦拿出了他们的董事长Henry Juszkiewicz当挡箭牌，「我们的董事长可是雨林 保护联盟的成员耶！」这个联盟是一个担保其产品合法性的非政府组织。Juszkiewicz 礼拜二也说伴随着这个调查，他将会从他的角色上缺席(不确定意思)。 The company noted that its chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, sits on the board of the Rainforest Alliance, an NGO that certifies products for their environmental credentials. Juszkiewicz announced Tuesday he is taking a leave of absence from his role in the wake of the investigation. 在一份声明中，Juszkiewicz为自己对於木头来源有多麽重视及负责拍胸脯挂保证，也 说G8森很努力的确使其木头采购皆为合法的，而且也一直致力於增加经认证的木头采购 来源的数量，这包括了通过森林监管会的木头。而我们G8森呢将持续的配合我们伟大的 政府的调查，也将提供一切他们调查所需的资料。 In a statement Juszkiewicz said he "takes the issue of responsible wood sourcing very seriously. Gibson Guitar makes every effort to ensure that all its wood purchases are legal and is also working to increase the amount of wood purchased from certified sources, including FSC-certified wood. The company will continue to cooperate fully and assist our federal government with all inquiries and information." -- 我热爱弹吉他解闷。 我喜欢拿单眼拍照。 我享受骑公路车奔驰。 自从尝试过将这三样我爱的东西搞在一起後我就发现： 『这三样东西怎麽也不能凑在一起』 https://www.youtube.com/davintsai http://davintsai.pixnet.net --
