# 5 species in need of EU Due Diligence - The National Wildlife Federation Blog

> A National Wildlife Federation blog post describes the EU's proposed policy to prevent deforestation-linked products from entering the EU market. It says the regulation is expected to be adopted in the second quarter of 2021 and that approaches under consideration include due diligence, certification or labelling. The article also says 36% of globally traded deforestation-linked products were imported to the EU between 1990 and 2008.
