The Tropical Forest Foundation (TFF) is an international, non-profit, educational institution committed to advancing environmental stewardship, economic prosperity, and social responsibility through sustainable forest management (SFM). For 20 years, TFF has fostered dialogue and alliances among industry, government, and academia, as well as the research and conservation communities to improve tropical forest management and increase the economic value of these forests for those who depend upon its bounty for their livelihood. TFF is widely recognized for the establishment of demonstration models and training schools to teach the principles and the advantages of sustainable forest management. TFF regional programs have become synonymous with the promotion and training of Reduced Impact Logging (RIL). Rather than simply talk about what others could or should do, TFF is on the ground helping those of similar goodwill to actively make a difference through rainforest conservation and management.
