Explanation

The International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) is an intergovernmental organization established in 1986 under the auspices of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) [2]. Its primary mandate is to promote the conservation, sustainable management, and trade of tropical forest resources [2]. The headquarters of the ITTO is located in Yokohama, Japan [4]. The organization began its operations in 1987 and is governed by the International Tropical Timber Council (ITTC), which consists of both producer and consumer member nations [2]. The City of Yokohama has provided significant support to the organization, including the provision of its headquarters premises at the International Organizations Center [4]. Japan's role as a major importer of tropical timber was a key factor in the city's selection as the host for the headquarters [3].
