• 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.
