🌸 🪲Last week, we had our event "Certification for Conservation" Here are our top 6 highlights: 🌱Natural ecosystems have declined by 47% on average, relative to their earliest estimated states. Additionally, 72% of indicators developed by Indigenous People and local communities show ongoing deterioration of nature elements important to them. (IPBES, 2019). These data demonstrate the importance of landscape-scale wildlife conservation. 🌿Preserving the land as it is and ensuring sustainable wild harvesting is probably the best long-term conservation tool, and certifications play a key role in this topic. 🦍 Wildlife Friendly Enterprise Network has protected hundreds of threatened species, including the Andean bear and the jaguar. 🍃With 57 certified plant species, FairWild Foundation is the only certification focused solely on sustainable wild harvesting. There are now 1.7 million wild hectares protected under FairWild certification. 🌞 Zahra Osman, Director of neo botanika, stressed the importance of the 4 T's for conservation in the case of frankincense: Training, Traceability, Tree Counts, and Treasured. 🌷Dr. Sally Gouldstone emphasized the importance of third-party certifications for combating greenwashing and as a source of customer trust.
