A programme of research, capacity building and institutional development, running programmes in the Congo Basin (Cameroon and DR Congo), Colombia, Ghana, Indonesia, Viet Nam and Suriname.
To ensure that knowledge is used effectively in the formulation of appropriate policies and managing forests for conservation and sustainable development.
In our vision knowledge and skills play a central role in improving forest governance and forest management.
Country programmes are a key component of TBI’s approach. They form the foundation for integrated programmes of collaborative research, capacity building and dialogue projects.
The CELOS Management System (CMS) is a system for harvesting tropical rainforests which aims to cause minimal disturbance to the ecosystem while also providing economic return. CMS was developed by the Centre for Agricultural Research in Suriname (CELOS) and the Agricultural University of Wageningen (The Netherlands; nowadays WUR). Starting in the 1960/70s, it was originally developed for Suriname, but has gained international recognition.
09 January, 2012More and more markets are demanding legal verification of timber products, e.g. the EU with its Timber Regulation and the US with its Lacey Act. The EU and VS are important export destinations for Viet Nam’s timber products (more than 80% of total export revenue). In the report “How Viet Nam is prepared to meet legal requirements of timber export markets” TBI aims to provide some initial assessments of the impacts of these emerging market requirements.
