Dear Members of the Forestry EUDR Network,
Recently, several members of the Forestry EUDR Network have reported receiving an email introducing a “solution to support the determination of forest cover as of 31 December 2020 for EUDR implementation,” accompanied by a link to an online application and statements suggesting that it is associated with the EUDR group or organizations supporting EUDR implementation in Vietnam.
To avoid any misunderstanding, we would like to clarify that the content presented in the above-mentioned email is not an official product, activity, or communication of the Working Group responsible for developing the 2020 Forest Map for EUDR, which is coordinated by the Department of Forestry and Forest Protection.
The Forestry EUDR Network advises members to exercise caution when receiving, using, or sharing information, tools, or solutions promoted as supporting EUDR implementation if their origin has not been verified or if they have not been officially endorsed by the relevant authorities or organizations. We strongly encourage all members to carefully verify information sources before using them in the preparation for, and implementation of, EUDR requirements, in order to avoid potential risks arising from the use of unofficial information.
Best regards,
