Abstract
The developing countries frequently blamed as a party who did the deforestation or do the forest logging. The developed countries try to give a penalty the developing countries with inserting environmental values to trade values. It caused a dispute between the parties because the developing countries highly dependent with the production of the major commodity, whose derived from the forest. In general, approved that the use of natural resources should pay attention the impact to the environment, either it is domestic or global environment. The universal environmental regulation and the environment whose adjusted with the boundaries in trade, in one side, it is not efficient and effective in dealing with international environmental problems, in the connection with the intellectual property rights related to the profit from tropical forests. This article gave a point of view regarding with deforestation from the viewpoint of developing countries and offer a new value which can apply to the developing country needs and global society.
Highlights
Increasing tropical deforestation in developing country is a major concern of the global communities especially the developed countries
Developed countries claim that developing countries extract forest at the rate higher than their natural growth, and cause extinction of biodiversity and induce global warming
The increasing of population and people's income increase land clearing and forest harvest which reduce supply of pristine forest
Summary
Increasing tropical deforestation in developing country is a major concern of the global communities especially the developed countries. Developed countries claim that developing countries extract forest at the rate higher than their natural growth, and cause extinction of biodiversity and induce global warming. The existing policy is to reduce deforestation rate by controllingtimber trade through taxation, certification and labeling. These approaches, are considered as impediments, sanctions and discriminations toward developing countries. Environmentalist thinks that those approaches did not succeed in reducing deforestation because there are other causes, such as: increasing of forest clearing for settlement and for industrial sites, which could not be controlled by trade policy alone. This paper views that forest contains many components and each component needs different policy approach.
