WWF has launched Forests Forward, a multi-stakeholder performance-driven impact program using explorer.land as their presentation and transparency tool.

The goal of the program is to mobilize people, catalyzing actions to address global forest threats and to ensure that the world’s growing demand for wood can be met through sustainable forest management, including a new generation of well-managed plantations.

A large group of various stakeholders, such as companies, organizations, communities, and groups of all shapes and sizes (Participants) undertake a wide range of actions that fall under

  • Improving Forest & Plantations Management
  • Market Shift — Responsible Sourcing
  • Forest-Based Interventions and Investments

Despite the many different types of stakeholders and multiple action areas, it revealed possible to bring all together on one map. The following links and screen-shots provide insights into the structured geobased presentation of this program.
