Infographic: Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Programme

What are the costs of illegal logging ? Illegal logging and the associated trade break down carbon-rich forests, interfere with sustainable forest management, threaten Livelihoods and contribute to the loss of biodiversity. Illegal logging represents about 30 to 100 billion USD annually or 10 to 30% of the global timber trade. FLEGT FAO Programme has supported more than 200 projects in some 40 countries producing tropical timber since 2008
