Dialogue on Illegal Logging

Date: 7-10 March, 2005
Location: Hong Kong

The Forests Dialogue (TFD) hosted its first international dialogue on illegal logging in Hong Kong, from March 7-10, 2005. 

Melissa Brown, ED of ASrIA, presented on ‘Legal wood- links to Asian investment community’.

Illegal logging causes social conflict and violence, while costing governments billion of dollars in tax revenue and harming forest ecosystem health. The dialogue accomplished three objectives: raise awareness amongst business leaders of the problems posed by illegal logging, identify solutions and agree on how participants can work together for widespread adoption of these resolutions.
