Timber sent to help Indonesia

The U.S. timber industry and two major environmental groups will send wood to Indonesia to prevent depletion of that country's tropical forests by post-tsunami reconstruction, the groups said on Wednesday.

Conservation International and the World Wildlife Fund signed a pact with the American Forest & Paper Association to provide U.S. wood to help Indonesia's Aceh province rebuild homes and schools destroyed in last December's tsunami.
