BamBook is a joint-venture project sponsored by the World Bamboo Organization and INBAR. It is the first of its kind, and much needed!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our hope is that this Global Bamboo Resources Directory of bamboo & rattan professionals will further promote the many benefits of these versatile plants. We envision this a very useful directory of bamboo people \u2013 a list of practitioners who are leading in their fields, a guide to who is working in specific sectors of the bamboo world, and to whom both organizations can \u201cendorse\u201d as being the very best in bamboo. As it evolves, it will also include the best of the major bamboo businesses – commercial companies – who sell bamboo products.<\/p>\n

When you open BamBook, it will appear to be a list of persons, identified first by COUNTRY, then alphabetically by name. Simply choose what country you want to search, and then click on a person’s name, or the organization they represent.<\/p>\n

From there, you will get the contact info for each expert and a short description of their area of expertise.<\/p>\n
