Improving our understanding of illegal logging: A study into timber trade flows, actors and impacts of illegal logging
Detailed description
Lack of reliable information on illegal logging is another key
element hindering progress with forest governance issues.
Increasing information and understanding will help to
design and implement more effective strategies to decrease
illegal logging. On the basis of the project document and in
close consultation with project partners, WWF-UK identified
three information gaps that are particularly relevant that form
the basis for the objective of this study, which is:
To describe and analyse for each of the five project
countries and for all of them together:
1. Timber trade flows:
2. The impacts of illegal logging
3. Stakeholders and actors in the illegal logging and
timber trade and how they can be motivated to support
actions to decrease illegal logging and timber trade.
Section 2.2 below elaborates the objective and associated
information needs.
The study aims to inform key stakeholders in relation to
illegal logging, in particular government officials and non-
state actors, including NGOs and the private sector, and the
wider public. The study primarily targets these audiences in
the five partner countries but also in the EU.
The study will contribute to enhancing transparency in the
forest sector. For example, the information generated by the
study will enable NGO’s to hold government accountable for
decisions and policies. Furthermore, the findings of the
study will feed discussion and debates at country level, e.g.
in the national structures that have been set up for VPA
negotiation and implementation. This will lead to an
increase in pressure against the illegal timber trade within
the partner countries. The ultimate aim is to see an increase
in the amount of legal timber and forest products from the
target countries traded in global markets.

legal and sustainable timber flows is different :
