Business

Iwokrama is about all forest values - human and environmental.

Many Values, One Forest

Iwokrama integrates human needs and values into business development and conservation strategies. Partnerships with local communities are established so they can assist in forest preservation and get a direct benefit from their efforts through local business development. Benefits are shared locally and nationally through benefit-sharing agreements and Intellectual Property Rights. Social, cultural, ecological and economic sustainability is the bottom line business principle.

Business Venture Priorities

In 2005, Iwokrama intends to focus most of its resources and efforts on the continued development of these business ventures:

1. Timber
2. Ecotourism
3. Training
