The Peru Tropical Timber Program was launched in 2013, with the aim to conserve tropical amazon forests by making responsibly sourced timber the norm.
The PTTP applied 3 strategies:
1. Promoting and supporting FSC certification for forest companies and communities, while facilitating access to forest finance for these partners.
2. Strengthening market links between Peruvian suppliers and national, European and American/Canadian buyers.
3. Developing a forest sector platform to represent the interests of entrepreneurs within the timber value chain towards the national government and international institutions.
