International Initiative for the Conservation of Pernambuco France Europe

Born in Paris out of an awareness among bow-makers of the fragility of access to resources in Pernambuco (Pau Brasilia Echinata), this association, created in 2000, works in partnership with NGOs and the Brazilian authorities to replant, conserve, scientifically study and trace existing stocks of wood.

Currently the largest of the IPCIs in terms of membership, it has around sixty members, all of them archers.

IPCI France-Europe is a key contact at COP and CITES meetings.
IPCI-France-Europe is joined by IPCI-Usa, IPCI-Germany and IPCI-Canada.
