Forest Legality Alliance is a key organization focused on promoting the trade of legal wood products. Most recently, FLA, in collaboration with Reforestamos Mexico and the European Forest Institute have enhanced Mexico’s national forest policy. Specifically, by 2018, 100 percent of the timber traded in Mexico will be of known and legal origins. Moreover, earlier this summer, FLA hosted its 11th semi-annually Membership Meeting at the World Resources Institute in Washington, DC (click HERE for agenda). The topics discussed included the U.S. government’s latest efforts to support legal trade in forest products and enforcement of the Lacey Act; the implementation of the EUTR in Germany and the United Kingdom; civil society efforts to improve market access for producers of legal wood products; and private sector implantation of measures to ensure legality in the supply chains.  The next FLA meeting will be held on January 20-21, 2015 and will focus on China.
