Discover how FLEGT certification enables countries like Ghana to export timber to the EU market responsibly, eliminating illegal logging and promoting ethical trade practices. Osiakwan provides a look into the rigorous criteria and tracking systems implemented to guarantee the legality of timber, from forest to export destination.
