The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) charting a
course for greater industry dialogue in tackling forest crimes. The chair of
the APEC Experts Group on Illegal Logging and Associated Trade believes that “keeping
legal producers on an even playing field is critical to ensuring the future of
the world’s forest and the trade they support”. APEC economies account for over
half of the world’s forests, 60% of forest products and 80% of global trade in
forest products, valued at USD 150 billion in 2010. http://www.apec.org/Press/News-Releases/2013/0626_crime.aspx
