China and the Asia Pacific
China's forest product imports have grown dramatically in recent years to feed both booming global demand for Chinese products such as furniture and panels as well as growing local demand. This trade is magnifying problems of unsustainable harvesting, illegal logging and negative impacts on local peoples’ rights and livelihoods in many producer countries across the globe. To better understand and address these issues, Forest Trends is collaborating with CIFOR, the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy and a host of other organizations in China and the broader East Asian region.
