After a quarter-century since its founding, the Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF) headquarters will cease operations on March 31, 2015.

The Tropical Forest Foundation reinforces its commitment to sustainable forest management with the election of seven new board members including Lenny Shibley, president, Inter-Continental Hardwoods, LLC.

The Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF) continued its commitment to balanced leadership by electing new members of its Board of Directors and Executive Committee representing conservation, industry and academia.

Bob Johnston, executive director of the Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF), and John Carpenter, president of Caterpillar and TFF chairman, discuss the non-profit group's role in sustaining the world's forests.

When it comes to sustainable forestry, the country of Peru is at a critical crossroads. For one, the country is a significant exporter of mahogany, which is monitored closely for its environmental sensitivities.

The Tropical Forest Foundation has launched a 60-day effort to raise $100,000 to help save the forests of Peru. While the South American nation is an increasingly important exporter of tropical timber and the principal exporter of mahogany, Peruvian tropical forests are being lost to slash-and-burn agriculture, mining, and poor and illegal logging.
