Timber & Pulp

An estimated 53% of timber and 37-60% of pulp exports from tropical countries have displaced forests (over 80 million tons). Tropical timber & pulp wood is used in construction, furniture-making, packaging, paper products, and even clothing. Commitments to timber & pulp can vary significantly, with some broadly covering all tree products while others might specifically address timber, paper, and/or packaging.
