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 .
