WWF Indonesia has been supporting sustainable palm oil practices through RSPO from the perspective of environmental aspects. \nOur role is to support the transformation from conventional palm oil production practices into sustainable palm oil practices with mission in zero deforestation palm oil supply chain, legality, and implementation of traceability system.","WWF Indonesia currently focusing its activities and interventions on promoting sustainable production and consumption in the palm oil sector. WWF Indonesia is actively promoting sustainable production of palm oil through various programs and projects in several conservation priority landscapes across Indonesia. The main goals is actually to taking deforestation out of palm oil supply chains. Having this target WWF Indonesia works to create innovation and combined approach of landscape and jurisdiction by working with various stakeholders along the supply chains. WWF Indonesia constantly working with independent smallholder in order to increase their capacity and awareness of sustainable oil palm practices and at the end can be complied with RSPO Principles and Criteria. Series of training aims to developed farmers capacities consecutively conducted within the reporting period. In line with this, to get bigger buy in from the local authorities, WWF Indonesia also provide training for the local extension agents. To date WWF Indonesia works with four independent smallholder farmers in Kuantan Sengingi district in Riau province as well as in Sintang District, Kapuas Hulu District, and Melawi District in West Kalimantan Province. Several projects also targeted and intervened the policy works at the sub-national and national level. At the same time, WWF Indonesia works closely with Sintang district local government in helping them to shape sustainable development strategy, especially to achieve RSPO certification. Meanwhile in Kapuas Hulu and Melawi, WWF Indonesia conduct intervention that targeted the spatial planning policy and capacity building for independent smallholders towards ISPO and RSPO readiness. Regarding Sustainable palm oil consumption, the main idea is to increase RSPO / CSPO uptake in Indonesia domestic market. There are two main initiatives being conducted in this regards. The first initiative is to approach retails, brand owners as well as food services chains to move forward and commit to source CSPO for Indonesia market. At the moment WWF Indonesia has been discussed with several retails on how to improve their procurement policy and there is one retailer that already committed to source sustainable palm oil for its home-brand cooking oil. WWF Indonesia role on this initiative is to connect retails with the RSPO certified suppliers. Others main WWF Indonesia approach in the first initiative is developing to implement of traceability pilot project to prevent deforestation with involving main buyers in global with its supply chain on the landscape. The main aim this project is to protect remain forest in National Park Tesso Nilo by closing access to mills with currently by FFB of unknown provenance. The second initiative is consumer campaign to improve end-user‚Äôs awareness on sustainable product, particularly palm oil-based product. This initiative was started in 2015 also in collaboration with RSPO Indonesia. WWF continues to improve the way we campaign sustainable demand in order to put pressure from the end-users on sustainable palm oil based product to be available in domestic market. PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE, FINANCE WWF Indonesia is supporting OJK (Indonesia Financial Service Authority) program on sustainable finance first movers pledge for banks. Eight national banks representing 46% of national banking asset signed an MoU with WWF Indonesia in end of 2019.

From investigating the health threats facing animals to helping people and wildlife live alongside each other, ZSL is committed to bringing wildlife back from the brink of extinction. Our work is realised through our ground-breaking science, our field conservation around the world and engaging millions of people through our two zoos, ZSL London Zoo and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.","Palm Oil Position Statement: ZSL operates a Palm Oil Position Statement across our sites and offices at ZSL London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo in the UK. We recognise that unsustainable palm oil production has serious negative environmental and social impacts. However, we also recognise that the palm oil industry plays an important role in employment and economic development for many countries, and palm oil is currently the most efficient vegetable oil crop in terms of yield per hectare. Due to these factors, we believe that transforming the market to a sustainable supply of palm oil that supports both people and wildlife is the most practical solution. As such, where ZSL procures products containing palm oil, it is committed to sourcing only certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) where available, as a minimum defined by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Principles & Criteria. The full Palm Oil Position Statement is available here: https://www.zsl.org/palm-oil-position-statement\n\nSPOTT: SPOTT, an initiative of ZSL, is an online platform supporting sustainable commodity production and trade (http://www.spott.org). SPOTT assesses commodity producers, processors and traders on their public disclosure regarding their organisation, policies, and practices related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. SPOTT scores tropical forestry, palm oil and natural rubber companies annually against over 100 sector-specific indicators to benchmark their progress over time. SPOTT supports constructive industry engagement by investors, ESG analysts, buyers and other supply chain stakeholders ‚Äì those with the power to influence companies to increase their transparency and improve their practices on the ground. Users of SPOTT can identify areas where a company is making continuous improvement and other areas where more engagement may be needed. SPOTT indicators and assessment data can inform policies and procedures for due diligence, screening and sourcing. In 2020, ZSL published assessments of 100 palm oil producers, processors and traders (https://www.spott.org/palm-oil), and engaged directly with more than half of these companies to support their improvement. The average score of palm oil companies in November 2020 was 41.5% - an increase on the previous year. The average score of RSPO members (65 companies), including companies with subsidiary RSPO members, was 54.9% vs. 16.5% for non-RSPO members.\n\nStakeholder engagement: In 2020 ZSL continued to work with a variety of stakeholders in the palm oil industry to support and promote sustainable palm oil, despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Financial sector stakeholders and buyers are the primary audience for SPOTT, and ZSL attended various virtual and in-person meetings, and presented at events, on webinars and podcasts, to disseminate information and encourage financiers and buyers to use the data and work with palm oil companies to improve their transparency and actions on the ground. ZSL also engaged with several palm oil companies to increase the uptake of best practices for palm oil production and sourcing, as well as to encourage improved transparency in corporate reporting. The SPOTT team produced various research pieces to support both assessed companies and industry\nstakeholders, including 'Palm oil crushers and refiners: Managing deforestation risk through a supply chain bottleneck', which provides supply chain companies and their financiers with specific analysis and recommendations regarding engagement on sustainability with crushing and refining operations in the supply chain. We also produced a joint report with WWF analysing the 2019 RSPO ACOP reporting by RSPO member companies. We released Bahasa Indonesia translations of several of our reports and guidance documents, to support Indonesian palm oil companies and stakeholders in addressing sustainability in the sector. All our reports can be found on our website: https://www.spott.org/reports/. In 2020 we also joined the India Sustainable Palm Oil Coalition (I-SPOC), to extend our engagement and support the RSPO and other members in promoting sustainable consumption and trade of palm oil in India.

We help communities, countries and societies protect tropical forests, lush grasslands, rivers, wetlands, abundant lakes and the sea. Only through properly valuing the essential services these ecosystems provide can we create a sustainable development path that will benefit all people for generations to come.\nOur scientists, field staff and policy experts are: measuring the contribution of healthy ecosystems to human well-being; assessing the implications of development decisions; putting cutting-edge, rigorously tested information in the hands of decision-makers and the public; and demonstrating through field models how economic opportunity and the stewardship of natural resources can leverage change at an international scale.\n\nOur strategy is built around three pillars:\n1.\tProtecting critical natural capital, biodiversity and ecosystems that provide the foundation for human well-being.\n2.\tFostering effective governance at local, national, and international levels.\n3.\tPromoting sustainable production practices.\n \nThe palm oil sector is particularly important to CI's mission because it can be an important driver of economic growth in developing countries, can create employment opportunities in rural areas, is the highest yielding oil crop per hectare and is a globally important foodstuff. However, poorly planned and managed oil palm cultivation can result in forest conversion, undermining the biodiversity and ecosystem health upon which agriculture and ultimately human well-being depend. Effective and constructive engagement with the palm oil sector, and related agribusiness sectors, is extremely important to forging joint solutions based on identification and implementation of better practices for oil palm cultivation, promotion of science-based land use planning and zoning, and the development of government and market policies with the goal of protecting environmental values, supporting economic growth and improving rural livelihoods.\n","CI is working at multiple levels to promote sustainable palm oil. At the global level, we participate in and support the RSPO and we maintain engagements with several major corporations that produce, trade, or purchase palm oil in their products. Through these engagements, CI provides support to companies seeking to develop and implement sustainable sourcing policies, including the purchase of CSPO. We also work directly with companies and through multi-stakeholder platforms to encourage companies across the palm oil supply chain to invest in and support jurisdictional and landscape initiatives that include sustainable production and livelihoods, including palm oil. CI aims to create a supportive policy environment for sustainable palm oil in producer countries such as Indonesia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Liberia, as well as in consumer markets such as the EU and the US. At the local level, we continue to support small producers with certification as well as through seeking certification and implementation of better management practices.\n\nHighlights of this work include:\n\nGLOBAL:\n‚Ä¢\tCI has developed a Palm Oil Risk Tool (PORT) to prioritize due diligence for deforestation risk from oil palm expansion in Indonesia. Factors considered include expansion risk, independent producer risk, standing forests, and industry concentration. Risk results are presented at both the district and mill level, and information can be used by companies and other stakeholders to proactively target key areas for enhanced due diligence, outreach, and/or investment to try and get ahead of deforestation, rather than reacting to alerts. A simplified version of the PORT analysis has now been completed for the global Universal Mill List. and has been socialized with some NGO partners, multi-stakeholder initiatives including the Palm Oil Collaborative Group, and bilaterally with five companies across the palm oil supply chain. The tool has recently been expanded to include Peat Risk in Indonesia.\n‚Ä¢\tCI is a member of the High Carbon Stock Approach Steering Group. We participate in several working groups, including: \n     o\t Protection Working Group, which seeks to ensure the ongoing protection of HCS forests and HCV areas through integration in land use planning, sustainable finance mechanisms and conservation incentives; \n     o\t Government & Regional Engagement Task Force, which seeks to engage stakeholders on the application of HCSA in other regions, including West and Central Africa and Latin America; and \n     o\t RSPO & HCSA No Deforestation Joint Steering Group, which seeks to understand the challenges, align HCSA & RSPO stakeholders and support application of RSPO No Deforestation criteria in High Forest Cover Countries.  \n‚Ä¢\tCI is also supporting broader multi-stakeholder initiatives and efforts including the Palm Oil Collaborative Group, the CGF Forest-Positive Coalition, and TFA, among others. \n\nUS:\n‚Ä¢\tIn the U.S., CI consistently engages with actors within the supply chain as well as other relevant key stakeholders (NGOs, finance, etc.) to provide support on policy implementation, to promote dialogue, and to encourage innovation and action that leads to sectoral, not just supply chain, transformation. In 2020, CI continued to advise private sector/agribusinesses in their commitments to sustainable palm oil. \n‚Ä¢\tCI served as a member of NASPON, participating in the segregated working group aimed at understanding current challenges in the North American market to sourcing physical CSPO as well as opportunities for reducing supply chain barriers to sustainability. \n\nEUROPE:\n‚Ä¢\tCI has provided presentations highlighting the opportunities and experiences of CI‚Äôs projects in producer countries, in particular sustainable landscapes and jurisdictions, to encourage prioritization and increased funding for those initiatives.\n‚Ä¢\tCI participates in the Sustainable Palm Oil Choice initiative, which aims to increase the uptake of sustainable palm oil in Europe.\n‚Ä¢\tCI has been engaging with the European Union for several years to ensure a sound implementation of the 2019 communication to ‚Äústep up EU efforts to protect and the restore the world‚Äôs forests‚Äù, in particular the future demand-side legislation that will be presented by the European Commission by the end of 2021. CI has been calling for mandatory due diligence, with criteria that are based on existing initiatives and standards, as well as a range of measures both at the demand and supply sides, including increasing the transparency and traceability of supply chains and increasing technical and financial support to producer countries to address the drivers of deforestation. \n\nINDONESIA:\nCI Indonesia has continued to engage provincial stakeholders in North Sumatra as well as district level stakeholders in a range of activities to promote sustainable palm oil, including continued dialog and policy advocacy, to increase understanding of conservation and restoration issues as well as leverage sustainable production, particularly for palm oil. Some of the program activities that have been undertaken to support sustainable palm oil are captured below:\n‚Ä¢\tSince 2019, CI and Unilever have partnered to build a sustainable supply chain in Tapanuli Selatan, North Sumatra and empower smallholders. As part of this work, CI is focusing on continuing development of the Coalition for Sustainable Livelihoods (CSL); strengthening capacity for forest governance; piloting a 100 ha restoration plot to support livelihoods and reduce deforestation; and training 1,000 farmers in Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) as well as supporting 800 farmers in receiving RSPO certification. By the end of 2020, over 1,000 farmers had begun a series of RSPO trainings, 309 had received GAP training, and 230 farmers received their land legality certificates, as a precursor to RSPO certification. \n‚Ä¢\tCI and Unilever have also supported the establishment of 2 Forest Farmer Groups (FFGs) ‚Äì each composed of 74 and 67 farmers ‚Äì through processes for obtaining social forestry licenses for agroforestry. Agroforestry will not only provide income but also legal access to sustainably manage the forest and restore degraded areas. This effort directly supports smallholder livelihoods and directly contributes to the District Action Plan for Sustainable Palm Oil. CI has also identified a 100 ha pilot area to serve as a restoration demonstration plot to support those farmers obtaining social forestry licenses. A community nursery was developed, which will be managed by the local community and benefit a FFG with access to seedlings. \n‚Ä¢\tCI continued playing a key facilitation role in the Coalition for Sustainable Livelihoods (CSL), a multi-stakeholder place-based platform aimed at aligning and scaling initiatives, financing opportunities and local, government and market interests to collectively drive improved livelihoods for farming communities, economic development and improved natural resource management in North Sumatra and Aceh. CSL‚Äôs initial supporters and contributors include: Barry Callebaut, Conservation International (CI), Danone, Earthworm Foundation, The Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), The Livelihoods Fund, Mars Wrigley, Mondelƒìz International, PepsiCo, Unilever and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Through our role, CI continued facilitating quarterly meetings with the initiative‚Äôs Interim Steering Group, which serves as the interim governing body of CSL.  Through a grant from the Walmart Foundation, we also launched implementation of CSL‚Äôs phase 3 workplan to support the establishment of a local governance structure for CSL which will guide the future of the initiative and its continued support to smallholders and sustainable production ‚Äì including sustainable palm oil. \n\nLIBERIA:\n‚Ä¢\tCI is working with partners, including companies, communities, government and civil society to support integrated, participatory land use planning that includes sustainable agriculture and oil palm production, forest conservation, and job creation. In this landscape, we are supporting the operator of a 220,000-ha concession to establish commitments to sustainable palm oil and forest conservation, including membership and certification through RSPO. \n‚Ä¢\tCI is sharing the challenges, lessons and solutions of our landscape engagements through our participation and leadership in national and regional platforms. These include:\n     o\t National Oil Palm Platform of Liberia (NOPPOL), which is made up of representatives from growers, government and civil society and supports collaboration to ensure a sustainable and profitable oil palm sector that benefits Liberians. As a member of the National Oil Palm Platform in Liberia (NOPPOL), CI-Liberia was a member of the Technical working group with other agencies that led the development of RSPO P&C National Interpretations.

Through this work, CI aims to help smallholders and communities adopt more sustainable production practices and increase the amount of palm oil they produce, while protecting forests and improving livelihoods.\n\nCI is also developing with partners the Coalition for Sustainable Livelihoods in Indonesia, which aims to capture the value of diverse collaboration through a sustainable landscape approach in contributing to sustainable livelihoods and improved natural resources management, as well as to improve smallholder productivity and sustainable development in Aceh and North Sumatra. \nRegional highlights are captured below:\n\nINDONESIA:\nAs previously described, we have continued to support the government of Tapanuli Selatan in North Sumatra to train 1,000 smallholder farmers, through a sustainable palm oil field school, on Good Agricultural Practices for oil palm production and to achieve RSPO certification. \n\nIn addition, we are collaborating with the government of Tapanuli Selatan to initiate an agroforestry plot, starting with 100 ha, to provide sustainable livelihood options for smallholder producers. This initiative will serve as a best practice model for transitioning smallholders production methods, for the larger district restoration priority target of 21,000 ha and for broader provincial restoration initiatives. This work has also supported the establishment of Forest Farmer Groups (FFGs) through processes for obtaining social forestry licenses. Agroforestry will not only provide income but also legal access to sustainably manage the forest and restore degraded areas.  Through this project, we also supported development of community nurseries with over 10,000 seedlings which will be used for restoration activities. \n\nIn addition, CI is supporting smallholder farmers rehabilitate their palm on peatland by constructing canal blocking to manage water levels. Revegetation is being carried out on the plantation with native peat species. Local communities are being supported through alternative livelihoods, such as fisheries, to build community resilience.

By working with local communities, governments, businesses, and other NGOs, we are defining new ways of working that will make a difference at a scale that matters to help redefine humanity‚Äôs relationship with the planet. We have a presence in over 100 countries across the world, and our efforts have evolved from localised efforts in favour of a single species and individual habitats to an ambitious strategy to preserve biodiversity and achieve sustainable development across the planet. Our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature, by: 1) conserving the world's biological diversity; 2) ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable; and 3) promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.\n","WWF works in close collaboration with businesses, governments of producing and consuming countries, investors, NGOs, consumers and multi-stakeholder initiatives to: \n\n1) Promote sustainable palm oil in major markets and raise consumer awareness of the need to use sustainably produced and sourced palm oil. We work to advance supply chain transparency, traceability and decision support tools. One way we do this is through the Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard.\n\n2) Encourage demand for sustainable palm oil among buyers and traders, both through direct engagement and a number of alliances. We promote the purchasing of sustainable palm oil and adoption of other downstream ‚Äúbuyer‚Äù actions.\n\n3) Integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into mainstream finance and create a resilient financial system that supports the sustainable palm oil agenda.\n\n4) Ensure that palm oil is produced responsibly. Working collaboratively with governments, producers and other stakeholders in production landscapes, WWF works on building the capacity of smallholders, engaging in sustainable land use planning processes, and implementing on-the-ground conservation and restoration projects.\n\nIn addition, WWF continues to play an active role in a number of RSPO working groups. WWF International is strongly committed to the RSPO as a vehicle to help transform the market for palm oil to one that is responsible. WWF is a founding member of the RSPO and currently sits on the RSPO Board of Governors. During the reporting period, WWF has been active within several working groups and task forces, supporting efforts to strengthen the RSPO systems and contribute to its credibility. WWF continually urges all companies in the palm oil value chain to be actively involved in producing, trading, procuring or investing in certified sustainable palm oil. WWF communicates publicly that companies should actively engage in a number of strategies to mitigate the impacts of irresponsible palm oil practices, including supporting the RSPO. Subsequently, WWF asks companies not to boycott palm oil, but rather to be part of the solution and drive change on the ground by supporting palm oil producers and smallholders to utilize responsible production practices. \n\nWWF has worked to drive more transparency and consistency in RSPO reporting. WWF encourages producers to pursue certification and buyers to develop ambitious time-bound targets for CSPO uptake and regularly report progress towards these targets. WWF works across the palm oil supply chain to promote sustainable palm oil to producers, traders, buyers, investors, financiers, consumers and other NGOs. \n\nWWF also promotes sustainable palm oil to producers, traders, buyers, investors, financiers, consumers and other NGOs. We engaged with governments in both producing and consuming regions to introduce policies that support the sustainable production and use of palm oil. WWF employs a broad range of strategies to enable its success, including one-on-one engagement with companies, engagement with business platforms, promotion of better management practices and sustainable land use planning, collaboration with producer and buyer country governments, and development and promotion of investment screens. \n\nAmong others, WWF undertook the following activities in 2020: \n\n1) In January 2020, WWF launched an updated edition of its Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard. The scorecard assessed companies on a range of sustainability criteria both within and beyond their palm oil supply chain, including their commitments to achieving 100% RSPO CSPO and progress against this commitment. In the scorecard and in our engagement with companies we emphasized the importance of transitioning to 100% physical CSPO as soon as possible. \n\n2) Early in 2020, WWF also launched its Asia Sustainable Palm Oil Links (ASPOL) programme in order to promote sustainable production, trade and consumption in five focal countries in Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, India, China and Singapore). \n\n3) On the trade side we completed two major studies to understand destination markets for FFB grown in our priority landscapes as well as reviewing RSPO CSPO flows into China, India and Singapore. \n\nThroughout the year WWF worked with the financial sector to align their best practices with RSPO principles. WWF provided analysis and recommendations to banks and investors to support their efforts to implement sustainable lending and investment best practices. WWF also provided one-on-one training and support to banks and investors to build their capacity on sustainable finance, including understanding palm oil sustainability issues and benefits of using RSPO certification for risk management and as an indicator of industry best practice.\n\nIn addition to these activities, WWF offices in key producing and consuming countries led national level engagement to support the uptake of RSPO CSPO. Key activities included:\n\n4) WWF India increased I-SPOC membership from 20 to 26 and initiated the domestic production pilot implementation project in the state of Andhra Pradesh, where it is engaging with two mills. Additionally, WWF India led the development of the I-SPOC Biennial Report, supported in the development of the Business Guide on Sustainable Palm Oil with RSPO, hosted panels on deforestation and supply chains at the CII Summit and CRB Conference, co-hosted a media webinar with RSPO and CRB titled ‚ÄòBusinesses with Purpose - Future-Proofing Businesses in a Post-COVID-19 World,‚Äô mentored RSPO-CRB‚Äôs Youth for Sustainability cohort of fellow on sustainable palm oil, participated at the RSPO Sustainable Palm Oil Dialogue as part of RSPO‚Äôs consumer campaign and hosted a session for college students on Responsible Food Consumption under the Education division‚Äôs ECHO programme.\n\n5) WWF Africa implemented the WWF Regional Palm Oil Strategy in the Congo Basin (Central Africa) and facilitated the Africa Palm Oil Initiative (APOI in Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and Republic of Congo. In Gabon, WWF Africa led the RSPO P&C 2018 National Interpretation. In Cameroon, WWF Africa developed and piloted its ‚ÄúIntegrated Agribusiness-Conservation Model‚Äù and supported the update of the national palm oil strategy.\n\n6) WWF Singapore represented and continues to represent SASPO (Support Asia for Sustainable Palm Oil) as its Secretariat, driving the alliance's strategy and membership development. SASPO's members are united in their belief that increasing the market demand for certified sustainable palm oil is necessary to increase its production. \n\n7) WWF China supported and continues to support the China Sustainable Palm Oil Alliance (CSPOA), a multi-stakeholder group that is gaining momentum as a platform to promote. \n\n8) WWF Guatemala/Mesoamerica worked with three smallholders oil palm associations conducting RSPO gap analysis and assisting small farmers with the implementation of better management practices aligned to RSPO P&C. Additionally, these offices completed a rapid assessment to identify oil palm producers in a watershed and determine the negative impacts related to growing oil palm in slope lands, national parks, and/or buffer zones along the water bodies.\n",1,"Yes","Yes","According to 2020‚Äôs Annual Report, in FY20 the global WWF network raised ‚Ç¨888 million across WWF International, programme offices and national organisations.

In production countries we plan to support jurisdictional approaches, sustainable land use planning, and group certification, as well as to support the implementation review of the Indonesian moratorium and ISPO certification standard. \n\nIn addition, we plan to ramp up efforts on consumer engagement in China and India as well as engage at the policy level to strengthen sustainable sourcing policies for palm oil. With district governments we will assess new production frontiers in India as well as employ a new model for certified production within India.\n\nWWF will continue its support for SASPO in the coming year. This includes providing funding support for its members to achieve RSPO group certification, commissioning market research to better understand consumer purchasing behavior and attitudes towards palm oil in Singapore and developing a consumer facing campaign to support sustainable palm oil. \n\nWWF India plans to promote the consumption of CSPO on a national level through the launch of a digital campaign to increase consumer awareness. Additionally, WWF India is in the process of finalising recommendations and mechanisms to incentivise the import of sustainable palm oil and will be developing a palm oil knowledge product that will help companies develop and set sustainable sourcing policies for launch later this year. WWF India will also commence RSPO domestic pilot implementation, and support the RSPO in establishing a domestic supply of CSPO by certifying existing palm oil plantations in Andhra Pradesh, according to the RSPO independent smallholder standard requirements.\n\nWWF Africa will continue to advocate for government endorsement of national palm oil platforms in Cameroon and Gabon. WWF Africa will also begin developing sustainability plans in five countries (Cameroon, Gabon, CAR, DRC and RoC) and will lead RSPO P&C 2018 national interpretation in Cameroon.

WRI partners directly with the RSPO Secretariat and numerous RSPO members to utilize on how to best utilize these tools to drive impact in the palm oil sector. In June 2019, we publicly launched the new GFW Pro platform and on-boarded many RSPO members as initial users of the system. GFW Pro allows companies to manage geospatial data with ease through analysis and\ndashboards designed for commodity companies and banks‚Äô day-to-day operations. Freely available to all, it unites users within complex commodity supply chains around a common approach to quantify and manage progress towards meeting deforestation commitments, adhere to commitments, and demonstrate regulatory compliance. \n\n(2) In November 2019, we launched an updated version around the Universal Mill List further aligning the industry around a comprehensive, common dataset. The new version of the UML is the combined effort of eleven major organizations working on supply chain\ntransparency, as well data contributions and input from dozens of companies across the palm oil supply chain, RSPO and FoodReg. In a renewed effort to improve the coverage and accuracy of palm oil mills data new contributors from Trase, Earthworm Foundation, Auriga, CIFOR, Transitions, the University of California Santa Barbara and the University of Hawaii joined forces with the initial UML developers WRI, Rainforest Alliance, Proforest and Daemeter to produce this updated version of the dataset. The wider collaboration and increased standardization achieved with this new version of the UML ensures greater\ncredibility and more buy-in from the industry at large. The UML is publicly available and will be accessible across a number of platforms including GFW and GFW Pro, RSPO PalmTrace, the Papua Atlas and the Borneo Atlas, Starling, as well as trase.earth. \n\n(3) In November 2019, we announced that a coalition of ten major palm oil producers and buyers are collaborating to support and fund the development of a new, publicly available radar-based forest monitoring system known as Radar Alerts for Detecting Deforestation (RADD). This partnership between Bunge, Cargill, Golden Agri-Resources (GAR), Mondelƒìz International, Musim Mas, Nestl√©, Pepsico, Sime Darby Plantation, Unilever and Wilmar will make it much easier for companies and other stakeholders to see deforestation happening in near-realtime and with greater accuracy. With this information, they can more quickly mobilize follow-up actions on the ground and work to improve the sustainability of commodity supply chains. Developed by Wageningen University and Satelligence, and facilitated by World Resources Institute, the RADD system augments existing publicly available monitoring tools that rely on optical-based satellite imagery, which can be delayed when clouds obstruct the view of forests. Through the use of radar waves, the new\nsystem can penetrate cloud cover and gather forest change information without being affected by clouds or sunlight. What makes RADD unique is that it is the first radar-based monitoring system of this scale that makes deforestation alerts publicly available. Earlier this year, we launched the alerts on Global Forest Watch and Global Forest Watch Pro.

At Tiger Trek guests are transported via a simulated plane journey to Way Kambas National Park in Sumatra, Indonesia where they view Taronga's Sumatran Tigers. The visitor journey from plane, to village, then through the national park, involves learning of the extent of deforestation in Sumatra and its impact to wildlife,\nhearing about a solution - choosing Certified Sustainable Palm Oil - and then guests are taken through an interactive western style supermarket experience. Raise Your Palm, Taronga's community conservation campaign on sustainable palm oil, is facilitated\nthrough Tiger Trek.
