Illegal Logging and Related Trade: Indicators of the Global Response
Jul 15, 2010

The report Illegal Logging and Related Trade: Indicators of the Global Response by Chatham House examines and analyses efforts in the past decade to control illegal logging in nations that consume, produce and process wood and wood products, thereby revealing the significant impacts that tackling illegal logging and improving forest governance can have on the development of poor countries, as well as on climate change. The report assesses the response and progress in 12 countries – five producer countries (Brazil, Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia and Malaysia), two processing countries (China and Vietnam) and five consumer countries (Japan, the USA, the UK, France and the Netherlands). Together, these countries represent not only a large part of the problem but also potential solutions.
