Collaboration for Nature in Cali and beyond
This issue we're pleased to share our third Proforest Insight by Executive Director for?Latin America, Daniel Arancibia, entitled: "The importance of collaboration to scale and sustain impact on the ground". This resonates well with many of the key messages coming out of CoP16 in Cali, emphasising the importance of collaboration and commitment to change, the need to empower Indigenous communities who are fundamental to successful conservation strategies, and the interconnectedness of actors from communities, governments and the private and finance sectors to secure positive outcomes for nature.???
During CoP16 local Proforesters based in Cali and Bogota participated in various panels and dialogues with both public and private actors to explore innovative and sustainable strategies for nature. The key lessons underscore the need for comprehensive approaches that integrate technology, inclusion, and cooperation to address environmental and social challenges. They also chime well with our strategy of working within and beyond supply chains, with many speakers highlighting the need for holistic approaches to achieve impact - there is a need for companies and financial institutions to go beyond supply chains and consider wider impacts on communities and nature.?
Proforest's Daniel Arancibia spoke on a panel hosted by the World Climate Foundation, called?"Harnessing Nature-Based Solutions through the Transition to Sustainable Farming". He highlighed the many pilot initiatives that could help halt and reverse biodiversity loss, and the policies, public-private partnerships and blended finance mechanisms that are urgently needed to help them scale.?
New Proforest Insight - The importance of collaboration to scale and sustain impact on the ground
No single company, government, NGO, or organisation can solve the complex issues around responsible production and sourcing of agricultural and forestry commodities alone. Whether deep-rooted environmental issues, human rights at risk, or increasing impacts of climate change, multiple stakeholders are involved, often across borders and with different priorities to balance.
In the third of our Proforest Insights series, Daniel Arancibia highlights three principles for collaborative work which will enable us to respond rapidly and effectively to the current climate and nature emergency.

Landscapes Exchange Week - knowledge exchange and learning
Proforest's global landscapes team converged in Pekanbaru, Indonesia, to share experiences from landscape initiatives across Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia, and discuss best practices of managing landscape projects.?
Highlights of the week included a Landscape Blueprint Day featuring discussion with external parties such as Musim Mas, Daemeter, LTKL, Unilever, APP and Kaleka. One of our guests, Musim Mas's Independent Smallholders Superintendent, Linda,?spoke about their landscape journey:
“Over time, we realised that sustainability challenges such as deforestation, environmental degradation, and social exploitation require a broader, landscape-based approach. This led us to develop the?Smallholders Hub, where we collaborate with stakeholders, including Civil Society Organisations, local governments and global partners to implement sustainable practices across entire regions.”
