DHA Advocates To Stop Illegal Wood

Decorative Hardwoods Association and industry and environmental groups are advocating for increased enforcement of the Lacey Act to stop illegal logging, the world's third-largest transnational crime. Illegal logging generates between $52–157 billion per year at a steep cost: it threatens some of the world's most biologically diverse forests, contributes to climate change, and harms American manufacturers by undercutting them with illegal wood products.
