It’s #internationaldayofcleanairforblueskies ! This date was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2019 in an effort to increase awareness about the importance of improving the world’s air quality. Air pollution is the single greatest environmental risk to human health that directly magnifies the climate crisis. This is not inevitable but can be reduced by adopting environmentally friendly practices such as making eco-friendly transportation choices; using energy-saving technologies; planting trees and more.

The whole international community - ranging from governments to individuals- need to come together in an effort for clean air and blue skies.

Let's do our part for clean air and blue skies!

In 2022, @volcanoes_safaris celebrated its 25th anniversary with a retreat held at Mount Gahinga Lodge. On this remarkable occasion, they brought together 25 partners and conservationists from various organizations, including UN GRASP, WCS-Congo, @uwauganda , WFEN, @janegoodall_ug @savinggorillas @empowersafrica @igcp_21 @ctph_uganda , and many more. The focus of the event was to take collective actions to ensure the long-term future of great apes conservation in the Albertine Rift.

This also created the opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced in the conservation efforts of great apes in the region while highlighting promising initiatives that most of these organizations have taken. Immediate and future plans that need to be implemented in order to ensure the survival and conservation of great apes in the Albertine Rift were taken into consideration.

We were thrilled to be part of this collective approach of conserving of Great Apes.

Today is International Orangutan Day! This is an opportunity to celebrate orangutans but most importantly to spread awareness of the need for everyone around the world to take action for their conservation. Orangutans have been classified as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List. The decline of Orangutan populations can be traced to habitat destruction and illegal hunting and trading of wildlife. Orangutans are a special part of our planet and their destruction is a tragedy. They are among the most intelligent apes; their bond between mother and child is unique and priceless.

Without our help, they may not be around for long. It is up to us to ensure that their habitats remain safe.

Today is #worldelephantday – a day to celebrate

Today is #worldelephantday – a day to celebrate these magnificent animals and draw attention to the survival struggles they face. It is estimated that more than 100 elephants are killed each day from poaching, ivory trafficking, human-elephant conflict, and habitat destruction. Conservation efforts are needed for all African and Asian Elephant species, which are currently classified as Critically Endangered (African forest elephant), Endangered (Asian elephant), and Vulnerable (African Savannah elephant) by the IUCN Red List.

WFEN is working with tea producers in India and implementing Elephant Friendly™ Tea certification as a way to recognize tea estates that adopt Elephant Friendly™ production practices, and to provide an economic premium through niche marketing of their teas as conservation-orientated. In this way, consumers can purchase the tea with full transparency regarding its production impact on wildlife. By utilizing Elephant Friendly™ management of tea plantations, WFEN’s conservation-focused certification can help mitigate conflicts between humans and elephants in India.

Coffee Agroforestry project by @faunafloraint Myanmar, a promising conservation initiative for conserving the Western Hoolock Gibbon which is a native to the forests of Myamar and is classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List @redlist_of_ecosystems . FFI is working with a cooperative of coffee farmers - Asho Chin Communities Association (ACCA) who have been trained in coffee agroforestry and adopting sustainable and wildlife friendly practices that have resulted in reduced deforestation and economic stability for the local communities adjacent to the Western Hoolock Gibbon habitat. The coffee produced by ACCA is now Certified Wildlife Friendly™! Check out the full video the link in the bio.

Cambodia’s National Bird, the Giant Ibis, is one

Cambodia’s National Bird, the Giant Ibis, is one of many endangered species that depend on the forests and wetlands of the Northern Plains as their habitat. But not only the wildlife but also the local communities rely on Cambodia's natural resources for their livelihoods, primarily through agricultural activities. This causes a conflict of coexistence between the Giant Ibis and the local farmers, who increasingly convert the natural habitat for agricultural use.

The Giant Ibis was declared as critically endangered in 2018. Therefore, it is vital to incentivize the local communities to protect the critically endangered Giant Ibis wildlife by linking conservation directly to local economic and social development.

WFEN, in partnership with WCS, developed the Certified Wildlife Friendly™ Ibis Rice™ programme for farmers in Cambodia, which allows those that are certified to capture greater economic revenue and in turn they can afford to restrict farm expansion. The Certified Wildlife Friendly™ Ibis Rice is featured in several Cambodian restaurants and hotels and can be purchased through https://ibisrice.com/ and recipes are available at https://ibisrice.co.uk @ibisriceuk , @ibisrice

. . .
Yippee! Our lovely meadow grown tea blends have won themselves much coveted Great Taste awards!

Our Reviving Blend, based on meadow grown peppermint, nettle and cornflower won itself a two star, with feedback from the judges including:

"the balance is clever and refreshing with a creaminess in the mouth",
"we liked the gentle peppermint notes on the nose...the flavour was clean, fresh and intense" and "fabulous looking product, we like the cornflower representing a thistle. Fresh minty aroma, clean and authentic... nettle offers a herbaceous back note, keeps the peppermint in check and the whole flavour is well balanced."

And our Calming Blend (based on meadow grown chamomile, lemonbalm and rose) won a one star with feedback including:
"a delicate and pretty blend with the lemon balm delightfully still in whole pieces. Deep magenta rose petals add further colour and vibrancy. A gorgeous rich, golden liquid that really sparkles!" and "Warm grassy, buttery flavours are delicate and mild with a gentle honeyed sweetness backing up the subtle vegetal and savoury flavours. Well rounded and carefully balanced, the ingredients combine to deliver a truly enjoyable flavour."

We're so proud of them!!!

Whats even better is that this years harvests have just come in so you can bag yourself a fresh pot from the meadow now!

The Mountain Gorilla is one of the most iconic spe

The Mountain Gorilla is one of the most iconic species on the planet and its conservation is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, this species occurs only in three countries: Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and their status remains endangered according to the @redlist_of_ecosystems . The good news is that Gorilla tourism in these countries has provided important economic incentives for their conservation. However, in the past, the tourism industry focused on growing customer expectations for their trip, and the Gorilla’s well-being was less significant. Now, prioritizing the conservation of the Gorillas allows this species and the tourism industry to thrive simultaneously.

WFEN, in close partnership with IGCP @igcp_21 , (a coalition of CI, FFI and WWF) developed the Certified Gorilla Friendly™ tourism and product certification. This certification serves as an ever-growing standard for best practices and integrates the IUCN Best Practice Guidelines for Great Ape Tourism, which engages tourists to be responsible partners in conservation.

What a great way to start the week - our public announcement of Wildlife Friendly Enterprise Network’s partnership with FairWild Foundation. Wildlife Friendly®️ certification standards have always made reference to FairWild’s standards when wild harvesting of flora takes place. This collaboration provides opportunities for enterprises to benefit from both wildlife-focused and wild harvest-focused branding and marketing.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce our partnership with @wildlifefriendly!⁠⁠

Just like @fairwild_foundation, @wildlifefriendly is committed to safeguarding wildlife in their natural habitats. By certifying enterprises that promote the harmonious coexistence of people and nature, they play a crucial role in ensuring the thriving of our precious wildlife. While FairWild focuses on developing standards and guidelines for sustainable wild harvesting of botanicals, fungi, and lichen, @wildlifefriendly places its emphasis on the protection of fauna. This makes our collaboration all the more vital, as it provides a holistic approach to safeguarding the wonders of the wild.

Biodiversity weaves the intricate web of life that sustains us in so many ways - providing us with food, water, medicine, a stable climate, and driving economic growth, among other invaluable benefits. Plus, biodiversity stands as our most resilient natural defense against the impacts of climate change. Each and every one of us has the power to contribute to its preservation simply by choosing ingredients that bear the certification of #FairWild or #WildlifeFriendly.

Embrace the Power of the Wild and make your choices count.
