TROPICS is a searchable internet-based resource which brings together information about tropical forestry projects undertaken by the European Commission, individually by European Member States, maps and other relevant information. The TROPICS system currently contains information on more than 1400 forestry-related projects over the 1991-1998 period. TROPICS will provide essential support for staff in the Commission and Member states to further the EU’s goals of complementarity, coordination and coherence in the tropical forest sector
The full TROPICS system is used within the Commission, a limited version is available on the public WWW
Also available is the EU Tropical Forestry Sourcebook, which synthesises some of this data
