ISSUE 3: LINKING TIMBER TRADE AND FOREST PRACTICE
English version
View PublicationThe Government of the United Kingdom is widely seen as a leader in efforts to combat illegal logging and associated trade.

Perhaps most importantly, the UK government promotes demand-side measures related to international trade, including its own timber procurement policy, to complement producing countries’ law enforcement efforts.
