EU timber imports linked to deforestation on Indonesia's Borneo: NGOs
A new report reveals that timber imports to the EU are linked to logging on Indonesia's Borneo island. NGOs are urging the bloc to implement its ban on deforestation-linked products, as major European buyers are receiving wood from areas with high deforestation risk. The EU's proposed delay to these rules faces strong criticism from environmental groups.
