Ghana Forestry Commission<\/a>, is publishing a guide of the properties of twenty lesser used timber species from Ghana.

While Ghana has nearly 90 species that are regularly exploited and traded as timber, its diverse forests contain many other species that can be commercialised. Many of these under-utilised species have similar and sometimes even better performance capabilities than well-known species. Others have a distinctive and unique appearance that makes them ideal for creating attractive timber products. Using a more diverse selection of species is not only a good business decision but also has the potential to improve livelihoods, protect biodiversity and promote sustainable forest management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[322,315,323,314,200,208,235],"class_list":["post-5775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-flegt-vpa","tag-ghana","tag-lesser-known","tag-lesser-known-species","tag-responsible-timber","tag-responsible-timber-exchange","tag-sustainable-timber"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
