Info

In its four chapters, this book offers an overview of the forests and their ecosystem services worldwide, as well as an evaluation of challenges and obstacles inherent to responsible timber production and consumption. It discusses efforts to use technological resources in order to enhance the government’s action and to minimize conflicts in the forest, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reverse the enormous tax evasion resulting from illegal logging. This challenge is further compounded by the fact that the government is indeed a major consumer of timber. Economic tools have been developed and are available to the government to encourage the responsible purchase of products and services – especially timber – in what is now being called “sustainable procurement”. In addition to the barriers and challenges posed by illegal logging, we hope that readers will also be able to identify the possible solutions to this problem. There are opportunities for building a responsible business that benefits the forest and the communities that inhabit it, encouraging everyone to participate in the conservation and best use of the environment around us. Enjoy your reading! São Paulo, March 4th 2011.
