Ingredients for a sustainable tropical timber sector

A sustainable tropical timber sector can be achieved through the combined and cumulative impact of many related advances rather than a single dramatic leap. Each advancement in governance or management practices, each innovation in genetics and processing, and each expansion of market knowledge brings our objective closer. This edition of Tropical Forest Update explores how stakeholders across the sector are taking these essential steps—sometimes under difficult circumstances—to ensure that tropical forests continue to thrive, provide livelihoods and environmental benefits for generations to come.
 

The articles in this issue illustrate a sector that embodies adaptive improvement. From renegotiating international frameworks to implementing second-phase projects, from revitalizing dormant institutions to tracking evolving market dynamics, the work of building sustainability proceeds through patient, iterative and continuous effort.
