Forestry / Wood / Timber
English term or phrase: ‘hopping’
With regard to supply, the number of countries exporting substantial quantities of precious wood has probably increased, particularly in Africa, representing increasing species- and source-area ‘hopping’.

如何理解“hopping” ?觉得直译“跳跃”不好。
是否指对原木种类的需求和及其产地在不断变化?

另外还有一个可能的意思是“偷运”和在非开采地非法开采的意思。只是我的估猜。请高人证实。
