Chainsaws, milling and regulation
Up one levelChainsaws benefit forestry practice and forest-dependent people but are also implicated in illegal tree harvesting and forest clearance, and who benefits and who loses from legal and illegal chainsaw use continues to be debated. There are increasing calls to regulate the use of chainsaws, and the success or failure of attempts in some countries are helping to better inform policies and laws on chainsaw use to improve livelihoods without harming the environment. This policy brief is aimed at those involved in making, implementing and enforcing policy in the forestry and wood processing sectors, and also companies involved in manufacturing and selling chainsaws and chainsaw mills.
