Foreign aid cuts are hitting the Amazon. Who will step up? Today's article in Forbes by Michael Sheldrick highlights the urgent need for action as funding for rainforest protection declines. But this isnl not just a government challenge—businesses and philanthropists must move beyond short-term aid and invest in long-term Amazonian bioeconomies. The article uses BioTara AG as an example of how business can be a force for regeneration. By working alongside the State of Para, Brazil, and partners like Ecosia and 100+ Accelerator, we are helping to create a model where the rainforest is worth more standing than cut down. Through community-led bioeconomy ventures, ethical wild harvesting and regenerative supply chains, we are proving that conservation and economic development can go hand in hand. " “These are investments that let industries like this stand on their own within five to ten years,” John Goedschalk [BioTara's founder] explains." "If just one gram, “just one drop,” he says, is added to the formulation of a bar of soap, for example, it would have the power to transform thousands of lives if scaled across the different US consumer markets. The US market consumes 2.63 billion bars of soap annually, representing 263,000 metric tonnes of materials. Should the industry decide to add just 1 gram of soap per bar, this would lead to a market demand of 2,630 tonnes of Tucumã butter. This would provide jobs for over 3,000 families in 15 forest communities with sustainable livelihoods and safeguard over 600.000 hectares of the Amazon Rainforest." " The Amazon does not just need protection—it needs opportunity. This article is a call to action for more businesses to rethink their role in shaping a sustainable future.
