Will I report to the proper authorities?

It is better to report it immediately, and you have evidence too. But the problem is, if the authorities are with them.. or if the people responsible for that just pay the authorities. maybe you should jut post it online, the media can spread it..

I think it is our duty to be always on guard about our community. You can report it to the DENR and present to them the photo you have taken to support your report. This will be really helpful.

abuda: I understand that you may be fearful to do so, but if you feel like other people are in danger because of these trees being cut down, then I say you should report it. If you are in fear of your own safety, you can report it anonymously by phone. Most police departments have hotlines for such things. Call your local news and tell them that you wish to remain unnamed. I would print the pictures off my cell phone and check for the email address of your local news station and find one of its reporters to send your pictures to. At the end of the day, you have to decide if your fear will keep you from doing what you need to do to ensure the safety of not only yourself, but of the community that you live in. It is a tough choice, perhaps, but I suspect that you already know what the right thing to do is. I shall keep you and your neighbors in my prayers.

there's always something strange going on in my community but you cannot report it because those who you would report it to are prejudiced or even involved or worse responsible so what advice can I give you... if you think that your authorities are reliable then I would report it in your case. Try to do it anonymously as you never know if someone will talk about it and if those guys hear about it they will not be amused.

Of course you will need to report that to the proper authorities. But make sure that those authorities will not identify you for your security's sake. We will never know, maybe those authorities are also behind such acts.

I'm skeptical of reporting things in to authorities. I would first find out who these people are. Then I would confront them, they may be having some hardship and need the wood to help keep them warm. Also if you would report them in, would these people be able to find out who you are (the one's that turned them in) they might do something to you for revenge?

Report it to the Media! It will take out whatever advantage the powerful have over us!, then the proper authorities will act on your complain

I'd say: what are you waiting for? Report them immediately! We had people from a factory digging sand from our beach. Not just a pale, no truckloads full every day! It's also hatching ground for turtles. So we started a petition letter and soon enough they had to stop. Maybe you can make a petition letter as well. Together you're much stronger!

If it bothered me sure I'd report it unless I was afraid of any reprocusions. Do they give you the option to report animously.
