RAINFOREST aims to reduce the negative impacts of #food and #biomass value chains on global #biodiversity. Funded by #HorizonEU, the project is tackling environmental degradation and helping to achieve the UN’s #SDGs. #RainforestHorizon

We work with #stakeholders to develop and evaluate #transformative change pathways and interventions that are just, viable, and actionable. Our main objective is contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.

Always nice to highlight a #conservation success story. Or at least the start of what is hopefully a longterm #success.

#Kipunji were only identified as a new genus in 2005. The animals were/are threatened by #habitat #degradation and #human-#wildlife interactions. Both issues require conservation management in #relational coordination with local #stakeholders.
