TimberChain's blockchain timber certification aims to combat illegal logging by ensuring transparency and traceability in the supply chain. It records every step—from forest to final product—using immutable digital ledgers, making it nearly impossible to forge origins or certifications. However, concerns arise about potential "greenwashing." Corrupt actors could manipulate initial data inputs, falsely certifying illegally logged timber as sustainable. Without rigorous on-ground verification and universal stakeholder participation, TimberChain risks laundering illegal timber into legitimate markets. Its decentralized nature, while secure, demands accurate data entry and robust enforcement to truly curb deforestation and fraud. Blockchain alone isn’t a cure; it’s a tool that needs strong governance to prevent exploitation and ensure environmental accountability.
