ALLIANCE “Save OUR bows” Campaign

We urgently need your help! The 2022 CITES pernambuco decision was not permanent. CITES listed specific actions requiring a concerted effort by the entire musical community. Our progress will be reviewed and a decision will be made in 2 years. The future use of pernambuco for professional bow making depends on shops, makers, and musicians working together to support conservation.
