New Wood Analysis Method Boosts Detection of Illegal Timber Trade by 94%
A breakthrough study reveals that combining chemical and genetic analysis can pinpoint timber origin with 94% accuracy within 100km. This method addresses widespread illegal logging in Congo Basin regions where up to 90% of timber exports may be illegal. The technique comes as EU implements stricter deforestation regulations requiring origin verification.
Breakthrough in Timber Tracing
Researchers have developed a method that significantly improves detection of illegal logging by combining chemical and genetic analysis of wood, according to a new study from Wageningen University & Research and international partners. The technique can determine the origin of tropical hardwood with 94% accuracy within a 100-kilometer radius, sources indicate, addressing a critical need in combating the lucrative illegal timber trade.
