Sustainable Practices

In 2024, wildcrafters are increasingly focused on sustainable practices to ensure the long-term viability of the plants and ecosystems they rely on. This includes implementing regenerative harvesting techniques, minimizing environmental impact, and supporting the regeneration of wild plant populations.

Biodiversity Conservation

Wildcrafters are actively involved in biodiversity conservation efforts, working to protect and preserve the rich variety of plant species in their natural habitats. This involves collaborating with conservation organizations, conducting biodiversity assessments, and advocating for the protection of endangered species.

Ethical Sourcing

Ethical sourcing remains a top priority for wildcrafters, who are committed to ensuring that their harvesting practices are respectful of local communities, cultures, and traditional knowledge. This involves building relationships with local stakeholders, obtaining informed consent for plant collection, and fairly compensating communities for their contributions to the wildcrafting process.
