Center for Tropical Forest Science

The Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS) is a global research initiative dedicated to studying tropical forests, which are some of the most diverse and vital ecosystems on Earth. It brings together scientists and conservationists to collect detailed data on tree populations, forest health, and biodiversity. This information helps better understand how tropical forests grow, change, and respond to threats like deforestation and climate change. Ultimately, CTFS aims to support sustainable forest management and conservation efforts worldwide, ensuring these rich ecosystems continue to thrive for future generations.
