In this Dec. 15, 2016 photo provided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. customs officials destroy a batch of tropical lumber at a landfill in Houston, after 1,770 metric tons of it was held at docks for more than a year on evidence it was illegally harvested in Peru. The amount in the seizure was enough to cover three football fields. The importers paid the storage and disposal fees as part of a no-fault administrative settlement. The wood's impoundment was a pyrrhic victory in Washington's efforts to get Peru to clean up its notoriously corrupt timber industry. (ICE via AP)

For years, the U.S. has been pressing for an electronic timber tracking system and for prompt sanctions for illegal logging. U.S. and Peruvian customs and law enforcement officials say real reform can begin only by purging officials who have falsified permits _ a task that’s up to the forest service. But inspections to detect criminal timber harvesting operations were scaled back. (AP Photo/Martin Mejia)

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. It was denied entry by U.S. Customs in October 2015 and was destroyed more than a year later in a non-fault administrative settlement. At least one importer fell under federal criminal investigation.
