The Forest Country Risk tool is integral to the Book Chain Project forest source grading system. It assesses the risk of deforestation (loss of forest cover) and transhipment (importing of timber from countries with deforestation risk) at a country-level.

The tool belongs to SLR but is freely available to download and use. Please do credit SLR Consulting if you reproduce the results or methodology of the tool.
