The
issue of forest crime and forest law enforcement has
been the focus of international governmental,
non-governmental and industry discussions in recent
years. Illegal logging not only contributes to
deforestation but also undermines the viability of
legally harvested and traded forest products and is a
serious detriment to forest sustainability. The
environmental destruction caused by illegal logging
creates negative perceptions of the forest products
industry in general. There is an international effort
and several agreements between consumers and producers
of forest products have been signed aiming to reduce the
trade of timber from illegal logging sources.
