Tropical Forest Update
Issue 31 No. 1
ITTO’s next five years
Sustainable tropical forest use can help restore the planet’s environmental balance while enabling people to earn a decent living, including through tropical timber production and trade. This is ITTO’s rationale and the basis for the recently adopted Strategic Action Plan 2022–2026. We outline the plan in the latest edition of the TFU.
