Webinar invitation: "A ‘Forest-First Approach’: supporting the effective implementation of deforestation-free supply chains in producer countries"

Webinar invitation from WCS - Wildlife Conservation Society Date: 11 December 2020 Time: 10.00 – 11.30 (CET) We will present the preliminary findings of a new research report, led by WCS, that outlines the need for new approaches at the forest frontier to achieve tangible reductions in deforestation. It will explore how deforestation risk is concentrated in particular areas, and discuss new prioritisation approaches that aim to support smallholders, with case studies from Indonesia. This presentation will be followed by a panel discussion to explore how different stakeholders can best work together to ensure that new European legislation has the highest impact on combatting deforestation linked to commodity production in producer countries.
