“Logging concessions” refers to areas allocated by a government for harvesting timber and other wood products in a public forest. Logging concessions are distinct from wood fiber concessions, where tree plantations are established for the exclusive production of pulp and paper products. “Concession” is used as a general term for licenses, permits, or other contracts that confer rights to private companies to manage and extract timber and other wood products from public forests; terminology varies at the national level, however, and includes "forest permits," "tenures," "licenses," and other terms. This data set displays logging concessions as a single layer assembled by aggregating data for multiple countries. The data may come from government agencies, NGOs, or other organizations and varies by date and data sources. For more information on concession data for each country please visit the [Open Data Portal](http://data.globalforestwatch.org/datasets?q=logging&sort\_by=relevance). If you are aware of concession data for additional countries, please email us [here](mailto:gfw@wri.org).

This layer is a compilation of concession data from various countries and sources. The quality of these data can vary depending on the source and may not reflect the most current data available. This layer may not be comprehensive of all existing concessions in a country, and the location of certain concessions can be inaccurate.
