Queen's Gallery used timber from endangered rainforests
The Guardian has revealed that the new £20m Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace has used timber from endangered rainforests in Africa, in contrast to the official policy of the royal household to only purchase sustainable tropical hardwood.
The renovated gallery - opened as part of the Queen's jubilee celebrations - is reported to included wood from the Cameroons where the environment of the last of the great apes is threatened and which is known to be a centre for the illegal bushmeat trade.
