Brazil — by far. Because Brazil contains about 60% of the Amazon basin, it also bears the largest absolute share of illegal logging and forest loss. Illegal timber extraction and associated land‑clearing are concentrated in states such as Pará, Amazonas, Rondônia and Mato Grosso, driven by land grabbing, cattle ranching and agribusiness expansion, weak law enforcement, corruption and illicit timber markets.
Other Amazon countries (notably Peru, Colombia and Bolivia) also suffer serious illegal logging in parts of their Amazonian regions, but in absolute terms Brazil is the most affected.
If you want, I can pull recent figures or maps (Global Forest Watch, Brazil’s INPE/Imazon, FAO, WRI) showing recent loss and hotspot rankings.
