In recent years, a stream of reports published by the Cameroonian Government, the World Bank, Global Forest Watch (World Resources Institute) and environmental organisations such as WWF and Greenpeace have revealed the widespread nature of illegal activities within Cameroon\u2019s forest products industry. Overall, it is estimated that as much as 90 percent of logs and timber produced in Cameroon are illegal in some way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of all the forest products companies logging and\/or trading illegally in Cameroon, one of the largest, and certainly one of the most notorious, is Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Foresti\u00e8re Hazim (SFH), a Lebanese owned company with a serious record of violating forestry laws, creating social conflicts and logging without regard for its environmental impact. SFH has been repeatedly fined for its anarchic logging practices, yet the company continues to flagrantly ignore the law, logging outside legally defined boundaries of its own \u2013 and others\u2019 \u2013 logging concessions. <\/span><\/p>\n

In light of SFH\u2019s consistently destructive, unlawful and unethical forest practices, Greenpeace is calling on governments and the forest products industry worldwide to stop their role in supporting this company\u2019s relentless destruction of Africa\u2019s remaining ancient forests by stopping all imports of SFH\u2019s timber into national ports.<\/span><\/p>\n
