Local MP, Alois Kingsley has strongly criticised the forest operations of the Japanese owned JANT logging company in Madang Province.

Our Goal The Coalition List of Members How to Contact the Coalition Our Goal To promote the use of internationally recognized sustainable forest management certification standards in Canada in order for Canadian producers to continually move towards sustainable forest management, secure a sustainable supply of raw material, and to ensure marketplace acceptance of Canadian forest products. The Coalition The issue of sustainable forest management (SFM) is considered to be of such importance by the Canadian forest industry that, in 1993, a group of 22 organizations representing virtually all of the industry came together to form the Canadian Sustainable Forestry Certification Coalition. It was the first time in the industry's history that a single issue led to such a concerted effort. In 1994, the Coalition turned to the Canadian Standards Association with a request for CSA to establish a multi-interest technical committee to develop a SFM standard for Canada. In October 1996, the CSA SFM Standard (Z808/Z809), was published as a National Standard of Canada. Since 1996, the Coalition has focused its attention on three main objectives:
