Dear Colleagues;
It’s now three years since dozens of consumer-facing companies signed
the New York Declaration on Forests, which included a commitment to
purge deforestation from the from the supply chains of beef, soy, palm
oil and pulp & paper by 2020 – or just two short years from now. Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 market the three-year anniversary
by
publishing a list of 10 key activities that can be scaled up or accelerated to achieve that goal.
Their report, “Commodities and Forests Agenda 2020”,
should be ready by people
far beyond our forest-friendly echo chamber, and I’ve created some
content that I hope will help proselytize beyond the converted.
The first is Episode 22 of the Bionic
Planet podcast, which is called “How to Purge Deforestation
From Soy, Palm, Cattle, and Pulp & Paper by 2020”. I adapted
this episode from the launch event, which featured speakers from
environmental NGOs, multinational corporations, and governmental
organizations. I then adapted the podcast into an article on
Ecosystem Marketplace called “10
Keys To Slashing Deforestation In Just Two Years”. I will also upload the launch event in its entirety for episode 23.
Bionic Planet is available at
Bionic-Planet.com, and also through iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher,
or wherever you access podcasts.
The piece dovetails with an earlier episode called “Brazil
and Indonesia: Connecting the Climate Dots”, which
focuses exclusively on efforts to slow deforestation in these two
countries. That piece was also adapted into a piece for Ecosystem
Marketplace called “How
Brazil And Indonesia Can Meet The Climate Challenge”.
Enjoy! And feedback is always welcome.
