About This Project

Impact In the Forest was a research collaboration between WWF, Clarmondial, Ennovent and Impact Hub to stimulate entrepreneurial innovation to counter the drivers of deforestation, forest degradation, and climate change, with a focus on priority landscapes in Indonesia, Nepal and Vietnam.

The report provided a situation analysis of the ecological, social and political conditions in target landscapes, along with the policy and entrepreneurial context. The report further discussed the potential for innovative approaches in these landscapes, and explored enterprises and sectors that might contribute positively to addressing deforestation.

The report helped remind key stakeholders that for sustainable forest management to work in the long term it must make business sense as well as ecological sense.
