Just to put things into perspective, the World Resources Institute, they estimated that the amount of forest loss that can be linked to palm oil productions globally is already at around six million hectares of forest loss.
Cattle industry?
That's at a staggering 45 million hectares.
So again, 500,000 hectares sounds a lot, and it is a lot, it is ambitious, given the amount of resources that we need to mobilize.
But it should be seen as a starting point of what is possible if actors across the supply chain, working collectively,
and agree to finance the conservations and the restorations of our natural ecosystem proportionate to their footprint.
The climate-regulating function of a forest is called an ecosystem services.
And I'm sure other services that you have in your life, you must be paying for that, right?
So our money, your money, should not just be paying for the raw ingredients that we use every day.
our money should be able to pay for the preservations of the natural ecosystem that we all depend on.
And what we want to do is to replicate this across other supply chains.
So maybe we have fashion collective or rubber collective.
And maybe only then we might have a chance to close that financing gap and have a real fighting chance to address the climate crisis.
Thank you.
