Slide 3: RELATED ISSUES ON ILLEGAL LOGS & ITS ASSOCIATED TRADE TO THE OBJECTIVES OF AFP

  • ILLEGAL LOGGING IS A GLOBAL ISSUE WHICH OCCUR IN EVERY PART OF THE WORLD ESPECIALLY TROPICAL RAIN FOREST
    COUNTRIES (ASIA, AFRICA & LATIN AMERICA)
  • TO OUR DEEP REGRET THAT STILL SOME COUNTRIES WITHIN ASEAN REFUSED TO PUT ILLEGAL ISSUES ON ITTA.
  • WHAT IS WORSE, IS SOME COUNTRIES IN THE OPEN STATEMENT BANNED THE IMPORT OF LOGS & SAWNTIMBER, YET IN PRACTICE
    THEY STILL ALLOW THOSE ILLEGAL PRACTICES HAPPEN EVEN LEGALIZE THEM.

Slide 4 ISSUE ON TIMBER CERTIFICATION

INTER-LINKAGE BETWEEN CERTIFICATION ( ECO-LABELING ) AND LEGALITY


Slide 5: MORE ACCEPTABLE THINKING

  • LET'S USE ONLY ECOLOGICAL WOOD
  • THE DEFINITION OF ILLEGAL LOGGING IS WHEN THE METHOD OF LOGGING IN THE FORESTS AND THE TRANSPOR-TATION OF THE WOOD ARE IN CON-TRAVENTION OF LAWS AND REGULA-TION OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THE LOGGING IS DONE .

Slide 8: Supply and Demand of Logs 2004

  EXPORT
VOLUME
RECOVERY.. ESTIMATED RAW MATERIAL DEMAND  GOVERNMENT PLAN ON RAW MATERIAL
WWK 3,000,000 M3 49 % 7,346,000 M3 AAC 5,700,000 M3
PLY 5,100,000 M3 55 % 9,272,000 M3 ITP 15,600,000 M3
FUR 875,000 M3 50 % 1,750,000 M3 CF 10,700,000 M3
PULP 2,300,000 Ton   20,390,000 M3 EST 7,500,000 M3
PAPER 2,626,000 Ton   ST. CO 800,000 M3
        IMP 2,000,000 M3
      38,758,000 M3 TT 42,300,000 M3

42,300,000 M3 - 38,758,000 M3 = 3,542,000 m3 FOR DOMESTIC USE

PULP 2,300,000 TONS x 4.5 = EQUIVALENT TO 10,350,000 M3 LOGS
PAPER 2,626,000 TONS X 0.85% X 4.5 = EQUIVALENT TO 10,040,000 M3 LOGS
