Abstract
Japan has been the world's major timber importer for close to four decades. In order to meet its demand for timber, Japan has extended its ecological shadows in many parts of Southeast Asia, and has had a significant indirect impact on Southeast Asia's commercial forests. This paper will cast light on the effects of past and current timber resource exploitation in the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak by focusing on concepts of cronyism and Japan's ecological shadows. The article closes with some suggestions for possible ways to harvest in a more sustainable manner, and internalize externalities of the timber market.
