only players on the scene discussing timber these days. China, the biggest
consumer, producer, and exporter of timber in the world, participated in a
“Timber Legality Training workshop” in Guangzhou to raise awareness of

timber trade on areas including conservation, reduced profitability of legal
trade, loss of foreign revenue, and currency exchange, this issue touches on all
sorts of domestic, supply, and destination country legislation.

organization, WWF’s Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN), the China Timber
and Wooden Products Distribution Association, and IKEA Supply to combat these
issues.
