Fauna & Flora International’s SoundWood programme works to safeguard the future of threatened tree species used to make musical instruments. SoundWood wants to see these timber trees used in sustainable ways. It wants to see people who depend on the forests benefit from the valuable timber they contain, and it wants musicians and music lovers to be able to continue to enjoy beautiful instruments. The underlying premise of SoundWood is that when forests are managed wisely, trade can support rather than damage conservation efforts. [SoundWood]
