JAPAN TROPICAL FOREST ACTION NETWORK

 
In January 1987, JATAN was formed as a coalition of twelve Japanese grassroots organizations and individuals, with the request of the NGOs on tropical forest conservation around the world at the international conference in Malaysia in September 1986. One of JATAN's current activities is in Tropical Forest Conservation. As the largest tropical timber importer in the world, Japan has responsibility for the destruction of tropical forests in the countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. JATAN creates Japanese reports, holds public meetings and reports the information in the producing countries in its newsletters. Presents at meetings on the issue of illegal logging, and makes recommendations such as investigating the operational state of their business relations, reducing tropical timber consumption and promoting use of certified timber.  
AIMS
  • To educate on the current state of tropical forests and the impacts on local people's
  • To appeal the need of taking measures against tropical timber consumption within Japan
  • To educate the industries and governments
