SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT AND COMBATTING ILLEGAL LOGGINGCanada Agreement • June 20th, 2023
The United States, Mexico and Canada are significant timber trade partners. Mexico imports nearly 70% of its timber from the United States, and exports as much as 75% of its timber to the U.S. (1). Illegal logging and deforestation, however, can negatively impact trade as well as weaken rule of law, damage and degrade critical ecosystems, and harm local communities. In Mexico, it is estimated that between 5 and 14 million m³ of illegally harvested wood are sold each year, and that that the trade in illegal wood represents a business of $7,000 to $20,000 million pesos or $342 to $978 million USD (2,3,4).
