During the first days of May, the first World Forestry Congress, organized by the FAO, will be held in Korea, as revealed by Gustavo Sánchez, president of the Mexican Network of Forest Peasant Organizations.

“This is part of a process of influencing public policies at the level of our countries and at the international level. Several countries, specifically the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, are working on legislation that will prevent the entry to those product markets that are causing deforestation in other countries,” he said.
