Focus
Member organisations of the European Environmental Paper Network are working together to stop paper products being sold in Europe that have come from forest destruction in Indonesia.
Around the world, the deforestation of natural forests progresses at an alarming rate. According to the FAO, around 13 million hectares of forests globally are converted to other uses or lost each year. This figure is conservative, since the FAO also considers tree plantations to be forests and doesn’t register the negative impacts of conversion from natural rainforests into industrial tree plantations.
