TFF’s Involvement
TFF has a relationship with SJM dating back to 2002. In 2003, TFF helped the company qualify for a certificate of legality and CoC issued by SmartWood. This was part of a TFF forest-market linking pilot project which demonstrated the feasibility of linking a forest management unit with a specific US market outlet. TFF has conducted extensive RIL training and research in this concession and has conducted a baseline assessment for WWF to qualify this concession for membership in the GFTN.

CV Pangkar Beggili - Concession

PT Pangkar Beggili - forest nursery This 30,195 ha West Kalimantan concession is typical of the new concession picture that is evolving out of the Ministry of Forests trend towards smaller concessions.  The need to amortize huge initial investments against a relatively small production capacity presents a major challenge for the concept of sustainable forest management.  Never-the-less, this new concession has requested assistance in achieving legality verification and meeting the TFF standard for RIL.
