In 2010, there was a global decline in illegal logging activities of 22 percent since 2002, according to London based Chatham House.
In the time period, Indonesia saw declines in illegal logging of 75 percent, and Cameroon saw declines of 50 percent.
However, illegal logging is so prevalent in Indonesia that in 2010, even with the 75 percent decline, illegal logging activities in Indonesia still consists of 40 percent of all timber harvest.
