The Association of Romania’s Wood Industry (AIL) accuses Greenpeace and Agent Green of attacking the entire wood processing industry with no grounds, furthermore misleadingly using specific terms to magnify the impact of its rhetoric in the international media. The two NGOs cultivate confusion between the term “old forests” (a legally undefined term) and the term virgin and quasi-virgin forests, the association says. “For Agent Greenpeace/Agent Green, forest management, according to the highest standards of professionalism, Romanian legislation, and international FSC and PEFC standards, means ‘forest destruction’. […] According to official data, 94% of Romania’s forests [although not necessarily old-growth forests or virgin forests] have primary structures identical to the old-growth forests. It is an indisputable merit of forestry in Romania,” AIL argues. …Environmental organizations Agent Green and Bruno Manser Fonds (BMF) recently urged IKEA “to better oversee their forestry operations in Romania.” …and refrain from sourcing wood from national parks and primary and ancient forests.
