A review by podanotherjessi
Tree Thieves by Lyndsie Bourgon
informative
sad
medium-paced
This book was a great overview of a topic that I'm sure could get very complicated and deep. It was very much just an introduction to the topic of tree poaching, and very narrow in scope to a specific region, but the introduction is very upfront about that, and it serves the purpose well.
I felt like Bourgon was very fair and balanced in her discussion of the topic. She provides reason for protections to be in place, but never vilifies the people that go around them. She's very sympathetic to the people who are in circumstances that would lead to committing these crimes. And I left the book feeling educated.
