How supply chains impact the survival of our ancient forests
In short: This video explores how global industries inadvertently drive deforestation. Biodiversity champion Nicole Rycroft explains how shifting the base materials used in everyday products—from pizza boxes to books—is a vital step in addressing the climate crisis.
Nicole Rycroft, a 2023 Audacious grantee and biodiversity champion, argues that solving the climate crisis requires a fundamental overhaul of global supply chains. Through her organization, Canopy, she works with industry leaders to replace materials sourced from endangered forests with sustainable alternatives.
The scope of this industrial shift is vast, affecting everything from the production of T-shirts to the manufacturing of the Harry Potter book series. Rycroft suggests that viable solutions for every sector are closer than they might appear.
