General information

BIOTRAILS

     · “...a Horizon Europe project aiming to generate knowledge and develop tools that will inspire and accelerate

       biodiversity-relevant transformative change in our society. It takes into account the complex interrelations

       between the indirect drivers of change in four value chains of traded products (cocoa produced in Peru; fisheries

       and aquaculture products supplied by the Mediterranean basin; gold mined in Ghana, and forest-based cultural

       products created by indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon), in an integrated manner alongside the

       climate and social justice agendas.”
