Sadiman spent 24 years planting banyan and ficus trees on the barren hills of central Java. Now, his successful #reforestation efforts are providing local communities with better access to water, allowing them to harvest 2 to 3 times a year.

Businesses are becoming more innovative in ways to address #ForestProtection and #conservation, and their investment in these areas can help governments and NGOs promote their #sustainability agendas.

“No deforestation” pledges are now well integrated into many corporate #sustainability commitments, however proactive #conservation and restoration commitments are not. Work with us to create real impact on the ground: https://t.co/Bm3pi2RI1Q

The #EU can support the adoption of #SustainablePalmOil around the world. Leading supply chain players and @tfa_Global are calling for the EU to adopt a “smart mix” of measures to protect and restore the world’s forests. Read more here: https://t.co/xihQFRNNzA

Palm oil is an essential staple for millions around the globe. In India, the world’s biggest palm oil importer, only 3% of palm oil imports are #RSPO certified. There is clearly a pressing need to raise awareness for #SustainablePalmOil

Demand for #ESG scores and ratings has seen a surge as asset managers and institutional investors increasingly incorporate ESG factors in their investment decisions. What is your take on this?

Only 13% of the $50 trillion assets managed by 300 investment firms globally are linked to #SDGs, says @StanChart. And emerging markets are failing to attract investment as investors stick to markets they are familiar with. #sustainableinvestment

@NatGeoMag I had been a subscriber for 5 years. Suddenly my subscription is cancelled, the app discontinued, and no refund given. Can you please explain what is going on??

A staggering two-thirds of banks in #SoutheastAsia do not recognise #deforestation and #biodiversity risks, @WWF said in a new study. It is time we step up our efforts and make #conservation a part of business.

[Forest Declaration Assessment @Forest_Assess]

December is half over and it's painfully clear: We have failed to cut forest loss and associated GHG emissions in half by 2020.

Deforestation is currently ~10 mil ha/year. That rate needs to decrease by nearly 1 mil ha/yr to end deforestation by 2030.

[Forest Declaration Assessment @Forest_Assess]

The rate of forest loss from agricultural commodities remains similar to the decade before the NYDF.

Can rapidly evolving forest monitoring & supply chain traceability tech help companies make up for the sector's failure to meet 2020 targets?

#Nature and #ecosystems play a huge role in sustaining our way of life. Read Part 1 of the article by our CEO @gabeotron on how the SCCM makes services provided by nature an embedded cost of business to create impact for the #environment.

Improved impact reporting frameworks can provide a clear business case to encourage private sector buy-in of jurisdictional approaches to support the #sustainability goals and efforts of sub-national governments.
