EU Deforestation Rules Disappoint Indigenous Timber Groups

The Intertribal Timber Council is not thrilled with the European Commission's recent review of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). They feel let down because the review doesn't ease the regulatory burden on indigenous forest management, which the Council argues is unfair and dismisses the sustainable practices of tribal nations in the U.S. What does it mean for you? If you're into sustainable forest products, this could mean fewer options from tribal producers who are struggling with new compliance demands, potentially affecting availability and prices of these products in the future.
