摘要：The main driver of timber consumption in the uk is
activity in the construction and housing sector, but
consumer perceptions of tropical timber are also
important factors. Perceptions or opinions (often formed
from selective and/or subjective information) are central to
consumer views. Perceptions of tropical forestry and tropical
timbers are having a direct bearing on the uk timber market;
they are influencing consumer purchases; they are impacting
business-to-business and business-to-government dealings;
and they are influencing government policy. As such, perceptions
are having a direct impact on the market status of tropical
timber products
