THE IPCI-FRANCE-EUROPE ASSOCIATION
IPCI France Europe is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and sustainable use of Pernambuco wood.
Pernambuco and Cop20, where do we stand? ?
At the end of June, the CITES Secretariat will publish the proposals for listing species on the Convention's appendices in preparation for CoP20 (Samarkand, Uzbekistan, November 24 - December 5, 2025). According to the information at our disposal, Brazil is likely to reapply for Paubrasilia echinata (pernambuco) to be transferred to Appendix I of CITES, which would make international trade in this wood and the resulting products, notably bows for bowed stringed instruments, virtually impossible.
Our team and partners are mobilized every day to reflect, exchange, draft, distribute and present our pleas to the press, institutions in France and Europe, the Brazilian Embassy in France, as well as to orchestras and social networks.
