TTP establishes and helps communities manage forest enterprises as a way of ensuring community members capture a larger percentage of their forests’ economic value. These enterprises such as beekeeping, fruits growing are aimed at improving the livelihoods of forest adjacent communities as well as maintaining healthy ecosystems, create jobs for vulnerable people, and lay the groundwork for greater investment in forest conservation and economic development of these communities. Our focus is also on encouraging small business development by linking our community-based enterprises with high-value domestic and international and tourists markets. We have pledged to communities everywhere we work to support local livelihoods while contributing to the creation of a transparent and legal supply of wood products through forest certification, promoting establishment of commercial tree plantation and increasing tress on farms for wood, poles and timber.
