Thanks to Lucy Brown at B Corp UK — for her spotlight on Mama Bamboo for this month's B-Corp Impact Business Model case study....
🌿🦁 LAND/WILDLIFE CONSERVATION IBM 🦒🌳
"Currently, only 101 B Corps have achieved the Land/Wildlife Conservation IBM; to learn more we recommend reading the Mama Bamboo's case study, who scored 13.9 points for this IBM, alongside their three other IBMs! 🌟
In the face of growing environmental challenges, the importance of land and wildlife conservation has never been more evident. As stewards of this beautiful planet, it's our responsibility to protect and preserve the natural habitats that sustain life and biodiversity. From lush rainforests to vast savannas, every ecosystem plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of our planet's delicate web of life.
Land conservation involves the protection of natural areas, including forests, wetlands, grasslands, and coastal habitats, from development, deforestation, and degradation. By safeguarding these critical habitats, we not only preserve biodiversity but also mitigate climate change, protect watersheds, and provide essential ecosystem services that benefit human communities.
The Land/Wildlife Conservation IBM is specifically focused on this aim. To be eligible for this IBM, a company must earn revenues from a qualifying product or service:
- That requires specific practices to ensure the humane treatment of animals used as inputs in the product's creation (e.g. humane certified eggs)
- That requires specific practices to ensure the sustainable harvesting or use of natural products and materials (e.g. FSC certified paper; MSC seafood; shade-grown coffee)
- That directly prevents environment/ecosystem degradation (e.g. protected parks; wildlife management services)
- That improves natural environments previously damaged by degradation (e.g. reforestation; endangered species repopulation)."
Here at Mama Bamboo, we are so proud of our contribution to the conservation of land, wildlife and water, and our reduction in plastics and microplastics pollution.
