Background

The following are facts and information gathered by OroVerde concerning the main drivers of deforestation. Tropical rainforests are cut down to produce tropical timber, paper or make way for more palm oil, soy, or cellulose plantations. We have composed a fact sheet for each of these driving factors giving you a compact overview of the topic. Aditionally our studies give an overview of existing Forest Landscape Restoration Initiatives and a number of Impact Investments with emphasis on their contribution to the conservation of biodiversity.
