Resumen
Descripción
Illegal logging is defined as the harvesting, transportation, sale or purchase of timber that violates international or national laws. It also encompasses violations in land use allocation agreements and permitting processes. When illegal logging activities occur, forests cannot be managed sustainably, which undermines major development objectives, including poverty alleviation, food security and climate change mitigation. This project was designed to combat illegal logging activities by enhancing the knowledge and building the capacities of stakeholders along the timber value chain in timber producing and consuming countries. This was done through the establishment of a user friendly database called TimberLex , which contains accurate and up to date information on timber legality and best international practices.
