Forest products trade and industry associations in Africa, China, Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia signed the "Global Forests Need Global Governance: Tropical Timber Accord." The objective of the accord is to maintain forests, manage them for future prosperity and future generations, and stop illegal deforestation. Indonesia, however, says that it is unfair to ask the developing country to halt deforestation by 2050.
