Guidelines on data collection for national statistics on forest products
30/12/2018
There is evidence that a number of developing countries have a limited ability to evaluate and provide accurate and transparent statistics on forest products that can be used to: guide markets; help formulate and implement public policies to more effectively manage drivers of change in the forest; attract potential private investors; bring employment to local communities and identify targeted priorities and projects.

Guidelines for the incorporation of a woodfuel supplementary module into existing household surveys in developing countries
30/08/2018
Woodfuel plays a critical role in the economic and social wellbeing of people around the world. Despite its role, many developing countries lack reliable data with which to estimate the patterns and trends of woodfuel consumption and production, leading to insufficient attention being given to wood energy in national policies and to problems in assessing its impact on health and the environment.

How to include the woodfuel supplementary module into existing surveys and derive woodfuel indicators
30/07/2017
Because available data on woodfuel production and consumption at the household level are scarce, the impacts of such activities on local economies, livelihoods and the environment in developing countries are not well understood. The project entitled “Developing a methodology on incorporating a woodfuel module into existing national surveys in developing countries” is intended to fill this information gap.

National statistics related to woodfuel and international recommendations
01/02/2017
Woodfuel is used widely in developing countries for cooking and heating. Its use has implications for natural resource management, energy access, climate change, public health, labour productivity and enterprise development. However, the collection of statistics on woodfuel production and consumption has rarely received sufficient attention.
Developing a woodfuel survey module for incorporation into existing household surveys and censuses in developing countries
01/02/2017
Woodfuel plays a critical role in global economic and social wellbeing: for a third of the world’s households woodfuel is the main fuel for cooking and heating, and in 29 countries it provides more than half of the national energy supply (FAO 2014). Nonetheless, many developing countries lack reliable data on the production and consumption of woodfuel largely because it is associated with subsistence activities.

Nomenclature générale des bois tropicaux 2016 (General nomenclature of tropical woods 2016)
01/04/2016
For 60 years, ATIBT has maintained the tropical timber nomenclature by establishing a correspondence between botanical species names and their respective pilot name, which is internationally recognized. The ATIBT’s pilot name is the result of practical considerations, with the aim of getting rid of common names that may lead to confusion. It elects the name under which the wood is most commonly traded, either by the main exporting country or by the main importing country.
