The Timber Legality Verification System (SVLK) is an instrument for reforming good governance through verification of certainty that only legal timber is harvested, transported, processed and marketed by Indonesia’s forestry business units. The implementation of this system is in line with the aim of eradicating illegal logging and illegal timber trade, which are also pursued through a law enforcement approach. SVLK was built by Indonesia through multistakeholder initiatives and processes since 2001 -LSM and civil society groups including indigenous peoples, entrepreneurs / private sectors, academics / universities, the Government, and parties concerned about forest sustainability-to be set forth in the form of regulations namely Minister of Forestry Regulation (Minister of Forestry Regulation) P.38 / 2009 in 2009.
