ATIBT work is based on the conviction that a healthy and lawful forest economy can make an important contribution to maintaining forest cover in tropical countries, which is often threatened by population pressure and agriculture.
Thus, sustainable management, as well as conservation in the case of natural parks, are pillars in the fight against deforestation. The main axes of our work are the following: The scientific & technical knowledge, The purchase of legal & certified wood, The payment for ecosystemic services, The reforestation & agroforestry.
ATIBT conducts technical studies and popularizes knowledge on tropical wood, an exceptional material.
DiscoverThe ATIBT brings together suppliers, but also importers of tropical wood from Europe and other continents.
DiscoverATIBT wants to highlight the contributions of the forest-based sector in tropical regions to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations.
DiscoverTo varying extents, the forest cover declines in forest countries in West and Central Africa, often due to demographic pressure, sometimes as a result of unsustainable practices.
