Global Forest Risk Registry A free tool providing information about the risk of sourcing controversial wood from more than 150 countries.

It is under development by NEPCon in cooperation with the Forest Stewardship Council and the Rainforest Alliance. This tool is especially targeted towards FSC certified companies verifying that they are not sourcing non FSC certified material from controversial sources. However, it is also useful for other stakeholders of responsible forestry. Many non-certified companies involved in timber trade wish to avoid controversial timber as well and may use this website to evaluate controversial issues within the area they are sourcing from.
