« As a manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, STIHL is dependent on a sustainable forest management. Since the ATIBT stands for a sustainable management of tropical forests, we share the same vision and we have a mutual interest in the rainforest. We also believe that we can contribute to the ATIBT’s goals by offering education and training on the safe use of outdoor power equipment in the tropical rainforest. Furthermore, we are looking forward to the exchange and networking between the other members of the association. »
