For better or worse, ecological awareness, "green" demand, and disposable income are all much higher in North America and Europe than they are in Bolivia and other parts of Latin America.

The best near-term opportunity to build support for LKTS from responsibly managed forests in Bolivia is to promote high-quality finished products made from them - products such as wood flooring, decking, and doors that can be manufactured cost-effectively in Bolivia and exported to satisfy green demand in the developed world.

WWF is proud to announce that a number of forward-thinking U.S. importers have chosen to participate in this important initiative. You can help support responsible forestry and the conservation of Bolivia’s forests by purchasing wood products from the following companies:

• Flooring
• Decking
• Doors
