Over the last few years, illegal logging and theassociated trade in illegally harvested timber hasemerged as one of the greatest threats to forestsaround the world. Various initiatives have beendeveloped and are being pursued to tackle theproblem, amongst which is forest/timbercertification. A number of certification schemesexist and are currently being widely used by variousGovernments as part of their timber procurementpolicy. But even within the existing certifiedforests, there is still evidence of illegal andunsustainable activities. This book thereforeassesses the extent to which forest/timbercertification is likely to provide an effectiveinstrument in the current global fight against thisgrowing problem. Although the situation is notpeculiar to one country, the author uses the UnitedKingdom (UK) and Cameroon in most instances toillustrate more general issues. Limitations to theuse of certification and suggestions on how toovercome them are analysed, among other ideas. Theanalysis should help shed some light on this legalinstrument, and should be especially useful to policyanalysts or anyone else who may be interested in theillegal logging debate.
