Mauricio Bauer to present on deforestation issue in Brazil

Delegates will learn what the deforestation issue means for their business procurement, some relatively straightforward options for immediate actions, what their business can do, how they can communicate publicly and how to manage risk.

Bauer will also contextualise the debate by providing information on the livestock farming structure in the region and existing traceability systems.

NWF’s corporate engagement focused on eliminating the loss and degradation of tropical and sub-tropical forest ecosystems in Latin America that results from the production of key agricultural commodities, primarily beef, leather and soy, is well placed to provide an overview of the live situation and discuss available solutions.

With over 30 years of experience, the International Wildlife Conservation programme combines expertise in the fields of natural resource economics, remote sensing and GIS, international law, and tropical ecology to advance market-based solutions and public policy to eliminate the loss of tropical forests around the world.

Delegates will also enjoy networking with other industry representatives before the start of the programme of expert speakers. Sponsored by Eurofins, the event will include additional presentations that will cover some of the hottest topics in the leather industry, informing delegates on how to manage risks within their supply chain and take advantage of emerging opportunities.
