Conservation is in our DNA. This is the most important part of what we do. When you buy Reclaimed Teak from Techtona, you just might save an elephant, save a livelihood, or save a river dolphin.

Like all companies that sell reclaimed timbers, we pride ourselves in not contributing to deforestation. But we do far more environmental work than any other timber business in the world. We originally started this business as a way to provide alternative income options for unemployed timber elephants in Burma and their keepers (mahouts).

Our operations in Burma employ Burmese river wardens to stop illegal driftnet fishing which kills the critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphins.

Whoever you buy your reclaimed or new lumber from, make sure you ask them about their environmental track record. It matters.
