Chatham House Illegal Logging Indicators Country Report http://www.illegal-logging.info/regions/canada country Card Most of Canada's forest is in the boreal zone which stretches in a broad band http://www.illegal-logging.info from northern British Columbia to Newfoundland. The balance, mainly in the western and southern regions, is in the temperate zone. Canada's forests occupy 1.5 times the land area of the entire European Community and represent 10 per cent of the world's forested area. 67 percent of the total forests are softwood 18 percent mixed wood and 15 percent hardwoods. Canada has retained more than 90 percent of its original forest cover. With a land base of 921.5 million hectares, Canada has 417.6 million hectares of forest, of which 56 percent is managed for timber production. No mentioning of links with illegal logging. http://www.illegal-logging.info/content/addressing-eutr-requirements-through- sfi-certification While forests certified to the SFI standard exist only in the U.S. and Canada where there is negligible risk of illegal logging, and while 98% of the fiber sourced by SFI Program Participants for their North American facilities comes from the U.S. or Canada, the SFI program takes significant steps to promote legal and responsible forest management and procurement worldwide.

Canada fell 10 positions to 20th, losing its status as the western hemisphere’s leader to Jamaica (13th).
