Most of us have no idea where the wood we buy comes from. Whether you are embarking on a DIY project or have bought a gorgeous new dark wood dining room table, did you think to ask where the wood has come from?The wood you have in your home could be illegal timber sourced from some of the world's most precious ecosystems.
Every year an estimated $400 million worth of illegally logged forest products are sold in Australia from places such as Sumatra, Borneo and New Guinea.
In 2007, Kevin Rudd promised to ban illegal timber imports, yet more than a year later, Australians could still be unknowingly buying bad wood.
It only takes one click to Say NO to Bad Wood in Australia.
