INECE communicates thatenvironmental complianceand enforcement play a fundamental role inbuilding the foundation for the rule of law, good governance, andsustainable development.News & Events Web Site FeaturesINECE Climate Compliance Alert: New US Law Could Protect Forests WorldwideRecent amendments to a US federal wildlife trafficking statute known as the "Lacey Act" extend capacity for combatting the import of illegally harvested timber. "The U.S. Lacey Act Should Help Protect Forests Worldwide" presents information and analysis of the potential impact of the new amendment. Given the US’s status as the world’s largest importer of wood products, proper enforcement of the Lacey Act has potential to help protect forests around the world. Further, the approach used in the Lacey Act – in which violations of the law of the country of origin of the timber are enforced domestically – offers a model worthy of consideration to other countries with a strong commitment to preserving forests globally.
