Why is the delivery of timely and accurate tropical timber market and trade news important? After all, many people hold the tropical timber industry at least partly responsible for tropical forest destruction. But a tropical timber industry and trade operating in a sustainable way can make a substantial contribution to the development and conservation of tropical forest resources. The tropical timber trade and industry also provide much-needed employment, exchange earnings and tax revenue - income that helps justify keeping forests as forests. Moreover, the growth of the industrial sector assists the development of important infrastructure such as electricity and water supplies, roads, schools, hospitals, telecommunications and ports.
