What is more, in developed countries there were boycotts of products from the rainforest as awareness of this environmental problem increased. Against this background, the Tropical Forestry Action Plan (TFAP) was launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Bank and the World Resources Institute. In addition, the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), a United Nations body, was established in 1986 in Yokohama to promote appropriate trade in tropical forest timber.
