  • Zero Wild Meat was an innovative campaign launched by WWF between October and December 2022 that spotlighted two serious threats‚ – risks to public health and risks to nature‚ – in order to reduce the consumption of wild meat in Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Lao PDR.

    This report illustrates the campaign design, implementation, and evaluation through a behavior change lens, provides insights from its pre- and post-campaign surveys among wild meat eaters, and summarizes key learnings for future interventions.

  • This document is a printable version of the introductory guide on the Supply Chains topic page of the Targeting Natural Resource Corruption (TNRC) Knowledge Hub. It outlines the impact of corruption along the forest, fishery, and wildlife supply chains and provides guidance and tools that can help conservation and natural resource management practitioners to strengthen their context-specific programming and related responses.

  • During the second half of December of 2022, 11 colonies of monarch butterflies - three in the state of Michoac√°n and eight in the State of Mexico - were recorded to occupy a total of 2.21 hectares (ha) of forest, this represents a 22% decrease in relation to the area recorded in 2021 (2.84 ha).

  • Between March of 2021 and April of 2022, 58.69 hectares (ha) of forests in the core zone of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR) were affected: 28.7 ha were cleared for sanitation cutting; 15.12 ha were affected by fires; 1.42 ha were affected by drought, and 13.41 ha were affected by illegal logging; this cause was slightly reduced compared to 13.94 ha of illegal logging recorded between 2020-2021. In general, the total forest degradation area tripled with respect to the 18.83 ha reported the previous year.

  • The central Arctic Ocean is becoming accessible for the first time in human history. As climate change diminishes the region's traditional meters-thick sea ice cover, the potential for a commercial fishery is growing. In precautionary response to the ecological disaster that overfishing would cause to the central Arctic Ocean ecosystem, 10 parties (Canada, Denmark in respect of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, Norway, Russia, the United States, China, Iceland, Japan, South Korea, and the European Union) signed the Central Arctic Ocean Fisheries Agreement (CAOFA) in October 2018, with the agreement entering into force in June 2021. This report examines best practices and lessons learned from regional fisheries management organizations, other relevant organizations and agreements, and subject matter experts to inform good fisheries governance within the central Arctic Ocean as well as good governance within the greater Arctic environment.

  • Follow-the-money techniques are essential to detect, investigate and prosecute environmental criminals and their corrupt facilitators.

  • Kipster made waves in Europe when it introduced its circular, carbon neutral, animal friendly egg production model in the Netherlands in 2017. The first-of-its-kind farm, established in collaboration with NGOs and lead experts from Wageningen University, was designed to cater to the chickens‚' natural tendencies and lifecycle. Since launching, Kipster has remained committed to full transparency, opening its farm to visitors, and sharing freely about its model and lessons learned, seeking to drive greater sustainability across animal protein production.

    The pillars of Kipster's model center around using surplus food for feed, carbon neutrality, and animal welfare. In 2022, Kipster expanded production into the US, creating significant market potential and growth opportunities, as well as unique challenges due to a distinct market and differing regulations and operating norms.

  • Companies in the food sector are facing a new wave of regulatory and legal actions in major markets.

  • Livestock and poultry have been a valuable part of the global agricultural landscape for millennia. As global meat production has quadrupled over the past fifty years, the corresponding growth in production and consumption of animal products and feed requires increased attention to the impacts of these intertwined systems and processes. As a component of the food system‚'s footprint, animal-sourced foods currently account for 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions, 12% of global freshwater consumption and have been responsible for 65% of global land use change from 1961-2011. Collective action across the feed value chain can deliver positive impacts to climate, biodiversity, water use, and protection of critical landscapes.

    This white paper highlights how solutions that address Responsible Sourcing, Regenerative Agriculture, Circular Ingredients, and Feeding Innovations can support aligned efforts to meet corporate and national climate commitments while building climate resilience for feed systems.
