In AHA’s platform, the risk of illegal harvesting is assessed against the “Framework for Jurisdictional Risk Assessment (JRA) of Legal Compliance of Hardwood Production in the USA”.  Each assessment is carried out at state level by independent experts appointed by AHA and is subject to additional third-party scrutiny prior to endorsement by AHA. Assessments aim to cover all states producing commercial volumes of hardwood sawlogs in the United States. All AHA-endorsed state risk assessments, both the full assessment report and endorsement summary, are publicly accessible and can be downloaded at the AHA JRA Results page.
