Tropical Timber: global trade with local consequences
The factsheet throws light on the environmental impact of our use of (tropical) wood products in Europe/Germany, especially on tropical rainforests. It raises the question if and how a sustainable forest management is possible and highlights the negative impacts of an unsustainable use of forest resource extraction. Particular attention is paid to illegal deforestation and political answers to it like the EU Timber Regulation. The Factsheet promotes an environmental-friendly use of the resource wood as well as alternative uses of regional wood species instead of tropical wood products.
Developed by OroVerde, available in German for young adults, pupils, students and NGOs.
