IKEA furniture is destroying some of Europe's last remaining ancient forests, according to a Greenpeace investigation.
Furniture manufacturers for the Swedish brand are sourcing wood from some of Europe's last old-growth forests in the Romanian Carpathians, including in protected areas, their report has found.
This area is home to the largest European populations of brown bears, wolves and lynxes, as well as more than a third of all European plant species, and has survived unchanged since the end of the ice age.
But the investigation found that seven manufacturers producing IKEA's all-time favourite products are linked to the destruction of these forests.
This includes the popular INGOLF chairs, and SNIGLAR baby cribs and beds for children.
