Africa - Cameroon log ban, log supply shifting to Gabon, Congo, CAR, Liberia
ITTO assisting harmonizing of C&I, setting up of PAFC
Lots of (unsustainable?/”secret”?/illegal?) logs going from Indonesia-Malaysia-China, Malaysia has now banned Indonesian log imports
Latin America - Brazil monitoring mahogany exports more closely, all exports must be harvested as per management plan
SUPPLY SITUATIONSUPPLY SITUATION
• Auditing guidelines developed to complement ITTO C&I – establish “Standard of Performance”, will assist countries to implement
• Assisting Malaysia and Indonesia with NTCC and LEI schemes
• Tropical countries not well served by currently available international certification schemes

TROPICAL TIMBER PROMOTIONTROPICAL TIMBER PROMOTION
• ITTO has done substantial project work on promoting tropical timber in general and especially lesser-known species (29 project to date worth US$6 million).
• Current projects include one in Ghana developing educational campaign for tropical timber consumers, another in Honduras investigating ecological impact of more intensive harvesting of LKS and their utilization/marketing.
ISSUES FACING ITTO:ISSUES FACING ITTO:
TROPICAL TIMBER PROMOTION (cont.)TROPICAL TIMBER PROMOTION (cont.)
• Many members of ITTO (especially those close to trade) want the organization to work more rigorously to counter misinformation about and bias against tropical timber in some markets, especially Europe.
