When we see raspberries in shops, we recognise them instantly. But did you know that these fruits are not the only part of the raspberry plant that is available on shelves?

[FairWild Foundation @fairwild]

Raspberry plants are also harvested for their leaves which have many properties of their own. They are full of nutritious goods with raspberry leaf often used in 'women's medicine' during pregnancy and post childbirth. #SpeciesSaturday

Check out these great factsheets that have been published on the CITES website! Presented are some case studies on trade issues surrounding CITES-listed medicinal and aromatic plants. Included is the FairWild certification of critically endangered plant, jatamansi. 🌿

[Yishan @yishan]

Without seeds, we can’t restore nature and capture carbon at scale.
