ForestBased Solutions
work is based on multi-stakeholder engagement specializing in private
partnerships and market based conservation initiatives. We have direct
experience with public and private sector priorities.
On the private sector side, we work with our clients to proactively gain commitments from suppliers on transparency of supply chains and origin of products.
We have organized in-country site visits for clients to meet producers and understand the issues at the governmental level, with businesses, in the communities and in the forest. We work directly with our clients supply chain to implement certification and verification systems. We use a holistic approach to supply chain management that emphasizes awareness of issues, direct relationships, legality, verification, competitive advantage and sustainability. We describe this approach as Future-thinking Positive Risk Management.
Our key goal is to build the systems for sustainable supply chain engagement from producer to the showroom floor.
We understand how to:
On the NGO side, we have developed landscape level and species specific program strategies for organizations working in international development, conservation and ecosystem services. We build capacity for scale and market access for products from forest and natural resource dependent communities. Partnership, enterprise development and capacity building are key elements of these strategies.
We have worked in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, Europe and the United States. Countries include: Madagascar, Rwanda, Gabon, Cameroon, Uganda, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Belize, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Tanzania, India and Paraguay.
ForestBased Solutions involves not just the products it involves a way of life.
