Sustainable Forestry in Protected Areas
The goal of the project is to develop Iwokrama's timber operation as a successful pilot project for the development of a model of sustainable forestry for the region which is economically viable whilst socially responsible and environmentally friendly thus providing revenues to ensure the financial sustainability of Iwokrama. The model can also apply to other similar protected areas interested in pursuing business development activities in order to achieve financial sustainability.
