Architects can help fight climate change by specifying tropical timber, according to Timber Trade Federation CEO David Hopkins.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a live Dezeen talk, Hopkins said that the Timber Trade Federation (TTF) wants to challenge negative associations surrounding tropical wood and promote it as \u2018valuable feedstocks for the design world\u2019.<\/p>\n

By specifying responsibly-sourced tropical timber, architects and designers can help prevent unsustainable forest clearing. \u2018That whole world [of tropical timber] has a very negative connotation with a lot of people,\u2019 Hopkins said.<\/p>\n

\u2018There’s a lot of work going on within tropical forestry and tropical timber production that is incredibly positive,\u2019 he explained. \u2018We want to see these as very valuable materials and very valuable feedstocks for the design world.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 <\/strong>Hopkins argued that by specifying timber from responsibly-managed forests, designers can help encourage more sustainable forestry practices.<\/p>\n

\u2018When you are sourcing timber from areas with good governance, areas which have good management plans in place, then they are actively working against the illegal logging and actively working against the deforestation pressures which exist in those countries\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n
