Europe's forests are among
the most degraded on the planet and old growth forests
are now almost extinct. Six case studies show how political
structures and policies favouring private sector profits
over long-term sustainability underlie pollution, logging,
road-building and illegal clearance. Through aid, trade
and private sector investment, western Europe is exporting
the same failed forestry policies to the Third World.
The report highlights risks to forests in eastern Europe
caused by the transition to 'free-market' systems and
identifies necessary reforms.
