In this Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 photo, nearly 1,770 tons of Peruvian wood, nearly all of it found to have been illegally harvested in the Amazon rainforest, sits under tarps dockside at The Port of Houston.

The lumber is Exhibit A in the fight to preserve tropical forests, a vital buffer against climate change. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)
