We are a platform and community for sharing experiences, expertise, and contacts.

We are a catalyst for collective action in the field to improve the sustainability of natural resource supply chain. A half-dozen field actions have already been initiated.

We are a synergistic cluster for mutual learning, interacting with representatives of indigenous and local communities from different countries.

Contact with a number of these communities is carefully nurtured. We are a think tank for translating the access and benefit sharing (ABS) process of the Convention on Biological Diversity into tangible, long-term action.
