The UK’s biggest furniture giant, IKEA, has been accused of illegally logging its remaining forests in Romania. But what is it like to protect the country s ancient forest - and why are they threatened to destroy them? Why is a row between the EU and Romania over the damages of its natural habitats. But ¿ The BBC looks at how it is affected by corruption and poor law enforcement, and what could it mean for the future of the forest industry in the Republic of Ireland, the BBC has learned from environmental charity Greenpeace, who says it doesn’t be able to tackle the disregard of EU nature laws when it fails to properly protect those areas of Europe? What is the role that has played in their growing crops and the extent of human rights violations?

And what has happened to Romania, as reports from the UK appear to be investigating against the firm, asks BBC News presenter Jamie Bartlett.
