With the invaluable help of the Association of Book Publishers of British Columbia and guidance from Markets Initiative, 71 Canadian publishers have committed to eliminating their use of papers containing ancient forest fibers (AFF); more than six million books have been printed on AFF since 2001; eight Canadian printers now stock AFF papers, and upwards of 12 new papers have been developed in response to this initiative; 61 US publishers and 14 Dutch publishers have developed commitments similar to those of their Canadian colleagues and work is underway in nine other countries including the UK, Italy, and Germany. In North America, the Green Press Initiative has assisted with this amazing progress, their mandate being "to create paper-use transformations that will conserve natural resources and preserve endangered forests"
