supporting responsible sourcing of wild-harvested plant ingredients
WildCheck will help open the cupboard door on hidden ingredients, illuminate risks and opportunities, and create a recipe for sustainability action.
Explore the hidden harvest.
Thousands of consumer goods around the world contain wild plant ingredients.
You likely already have a selection sitting in your kitchen or bathroom cupboards in the form of creams, oils, herbal medicines, teas, furniture, makeup items, drinks and food products.
These ingredients are usually harvested from highly biodiverse ecosystems, often by rural communities for whom trade is a critical source of income. However, thousands of harvested species are at risk, mainly from a combination of overharvest and habitat loss, with over 20% of species estimated to be threatened with extinction. This threatens wider ecosystems, also putting at risk the harvesting communities, businesses, and consumers who rely on wild plant ingredients.
