it in times of crisis, presented with a critical problem. by my looks, if you saw how dependent we are on india in china and you know, and where the goods actually come from is not always clear to leon, just make sure that every single tree fell. there's actually been sustainably managed to the rochester, but some companies are already developing new, sustainable production practices and supply chains with greater transparency kind of encourage them as a business woman, indic conservationist or company better would imports tropical temper to germany in order to ensure that the resulting decking, boards and garden furniture are genuinely fair trade. she makes regular visits to the places where the wood is sourced. validation in the always wanted to do something that we could be committed to the worst thing. okay. this is something

that makes sense and is worth working for. so i and the idea is to protect the rain forest by selling tropical woods products. met then co from the doctor, protecting the rain forests with tropical timber might initially sound counter intuitive. but upon closer inspection, it actually makes a lot of sense from the original tree to the final published boards. better would is careful to insure eco friendly sourcing for a company has a longstanding partnership with denver supplier, my deducting formerly a teacher. they not. the pacheco is now a forestry worker because he cares about the future of the rain forest contract encouraging gets to see exactly what his work looks like on the ground. the state of moderate the deals in south eastern peru boasts are unique ecosystem and it's here that colombia and born cooking sources. her high all the tropical

timber, the practically the entire region is untouched. greenforest with enormous 5 diversity. one single hector is home to hundreds of trees, species as well as countless different plants and animals. the of the i know side on the one hand you have this wealth of biodiversity viewed. you guys have teeth 2 thirds of the floor and found a live in the rain forest phone on the florida state. these places are important for water cycles and service. carbon sinks onto flyers by trying to on to and then on the other hand, you have the people who live by the rain forest and see it as an area that's easy to cut down and use this farm land and reflection. dave, which provides them with an income tied to a person their own deadlines. well, that's also important to take into consideration for deans, the alpha on the 1st day in the as

they progress deeper into the jungle. cotton and it's a non de repeatedly come across signs of the legal deforestation the story to doing this to raise cattle. are they going idea? i see you got an idea and just cattle and nothing else which would change the color as radically as most people. yes, absolutely, by the units and clearing all of this land would normally mean hiring machinery for 3 or 4 days to the market. so yeah, but given the high cost to so it would be easier to just destroy your last i've seen that seen the you're going you to burn it down and spent a lot at the with an hour later. well, you have this here. so the situation is a familiar one around the planet. christine and precious nature, illegally raised to the ground with ancient giants of the forest destroyed forever . between 19902020, the world lost a staggering 420 milligan hector's of woodland,

in area greater than the entire european union. a situation that the e u intends to tackle with a new and pioneering law companies have to ensure that reinforce products such as timber, tom, oil, and coffee have not contributed to deforestation or the destruction of nature. that means having to prove the precise origin of their goods, the cost of incurred to begin implementing those now mandatory practices many years ago, she often checks or peruvian suppliers operations in person, and that they comply with very specific requirements. the entrance to this protected area is guarded round the clock after season. from here onwards, all you have is jungle by green and a healthy ego system as tasks and bicycle. okay. we don't allow hunting,

for example, or anything being removed from the forest without prior approval. and that goes under control, the funky stomach, the and the aim is to minimize human intervention in collateral damage at the same time. so what kinds kinds of them cut doesn't include things. would supplier, modded, architect managers, the areas of woodland that can be used with specific requirements? that means only a tiny proportion of trees and this vast expanse are felt each year. it takes 6 hours for contact and to navigate her way through the rain forest to see the harvesting firsthand. thing at the bottom of the all the trees here are digitally registered, enabling the forestry workers to know the exact location of a tree designated for filling a management plan covering the entire area determines which trees can be cut down and without disturbing the sensitive ecosystem. yes or

no later the seal is still this number of 18. 488, is the trans registration code and go, you know, and then what was inside of me. it's a black guy, you know, said it's a tag that serves as a kind of birth certificate for the tree supply chain. i was told you that this giant of the jungle has been cleared for removal. but right now the budget go has his reservation as the name on the account with us that we're worried that the tree might have a hole in. it still says my, your make this on these little dfcs here are normally a sign of termites using chrome and not my data that says bought on nothing by the level. it's ok, no, no. let's 1st of all do a whole test to avoid selling a tree that isn't really usable to, for the same kind of find. that if you've got a know already, sometimes it involves making a vertical cut. to reduce the damage to the tree, we're going to keep it strong enough to withstand the window meantime put on there . so it will be and before we can, that's fine. i assign jeff and

does it hollow? yes. okay. it was just a now hollow tree is worth a little on the market on the boat will remain a valuable member of the jungle eco system. the team continued tracking down a suitable tree for cut defense wood products company looking pretty good. here in australia, a medicine of vital importance to humanity is produced. it's mixed in these huge steel. that's like dealt with a bakery. and little by little, the 150000000 leaders of liquid are turned into a white powder. penicillin, thousands of tons are produced here every year. the market town of plunder has

a history of penicillin production going back to 1946. should some crisis arise. it could be pivotal for europe's entire supply event by onyx. chemist stephanie, eat not heads active ingredient production at medicine, manufacturer, sandals, and is aware of how important her work is as long as it's rewarding to be producing vital life saving medicines for europe in the whole world of age. and it's an important job which gives me motivation to come back here every day. one, the young working together with my colleagues to supply europe with penicillin will form its fitness needs to focus on the plan. turns out up to $200000.00 tons of fermentation process per year. half of all the packs of penicillin sold in europe now come directly or indirectly from clinton, either as medication or inactive ingredient. it's the last remaining penicillin factory in the whole of europe. the antibiotic is a generic drug,

which means that sold at considerably lower prices. then you have a cousin voice and music of generics or drugs where the basic patent has expired or to this. the prices are very low and penicillin is now cheaper than a path of shooting down who called me the resulting economic pressure for pharmaceutical companies is prompting many of them to stop producing generic drugs . at the turn of the millennium, around 2 thirds of their active ingredients were still produced in europe with the remaining 3rd coming from asia. today, that ratio has been reversed with 2 thirds of manufacturing now being in countries such as china and india. pharmaceuticals production there costs a fraction of what it does in europe. i don't for them a situation that increases europe's outside dependency poses a potential threat to it. supplies in 2023. germany's federal institute for drugs and medical services, registered shortages affecting around 500 medicines,

including for penicillin. one desk, boston one a 3 pages of time to build capacities back up again. you know that we're making very good progress bone on isn't off, i'm them, it will take a while, however, until we're able to reach the production levels currently required by the market as well. we were at around a $100000000.00 pac cycle, and now demand is a $240000000.00 on some more than 2 and a half times the amount during co vivian and oversight to cope with future requirements. the company behind the facility has built an additional plan to, according to subsidized by the austrian government. the c o 100 stronger knows how important the facility is for antibiotics production. the vehicle expands, have been shown in getting the subsidies wasn't easy for me, but we got great support from the austrian government solution from this politics. coleman, who saw starting koval. cobit helped us to steal the debates in

a particular direction. the city because you could see how much and how quickly we had become dependent on india and kind of thing is phones on im, dental fee, not on tier and also with a cobit related supply issues. and this being the last production site and your other uh, these are key factors and ultimately getting the go ahead on uh, i mean, to this dog constituents i get to pick from quinta is already being called a last bastion for guaranteeing your supply event to buy onyx around $240000000.00 packs of medicine leave the planet every year. you intend to see the plan tested in making preparations to supply the whole of europe to unload you for provide. so if that works, it'd be supply stoppages in india or china. you may be able to supply patients and you're up to the, to the but 10, protecting in level for, for sold. and when it comes to use support for such production facilities,

the company boss is cautiously optimistic. for this august, the 2 years, we have a foot in the door with discussions moving in the right direction. we have a sound working relationship with the e, with our do use and the austrian government and politics. the example of clinton shows how europe can become more independent and the struggle against the supply bottlenecks. meeting greater security in times of disasters and other crises the over in peru. this protected area of rain forest supplies the wood for the decking boards made by cousin coatings company in germany. she makes sure that the tree removals fulfill also stain ability standards. this seems to be a suitable specimen. the

selling the tree means there will be no further removals in this hector of jungle for 20 years, which will give the forest sufficient time to recover the activity he's done. yes, it is taking something from nature and you shouldn't down play that out. then mind looking at the bigger picture with everything else happening on the ground and with the climate to look, this kind of management is important. it actually makes a lot of sense for protecting the rain for assignment with that chaplain and put the risk based on standards on them cleaned by system. once several suitable trees have been removed, they are sent to a nearby sawmill. the

living right next to the nature reserve or a number of indigenous communities who also profit from sustainable with sourcing. today, cutting and coating is meeting by lydia lopez, chief of the unit people. nice to meet you, valeria harlow, are well, is that what exactly do you do here? we trade in would we have the certification for working with sustainable timber c f . s a say yes. okay. the units are among the suppliers for cut of and coatings partner, but actually a cooperative venture that not only has financial benefits, pick them up as young and how does motor increase support you were doing my acting on my that access. we have an agreement where they help us with our craft work and with social issues like health and education, do they? because to young lady a lopez shows her visitor around the tribal forest reserves protecting their

backyard is of course a priority for the unit. for them treating the trees with care and respect is nothing new a, it's an ancient tradition the there's nothing coming up. allison, do you use selective fairly not in terms of collaborative thing, making sure before him that a trees features need the right condition because but uh that are gonna panic or 5 months. yeah. so fantasy, yes, each tree has to be of a certain size and we leave the other one standing for future harvest. mm hm. by the sustainable management approach protects the primeval forest and the nice home land while also guaranteeing them a decent and secure livelihood. then as this type gave, if there's a way of getting people in income, the working and protecting the rain forest and by foot, but in a sustainable way, then i'm off now i think then people are going to do that on a bad and mentioned as of to what harvesting conservation of community support work

go hand in hand here. the timber provided by the unit is likewise processed at the nearby solomon run by content and coatings timber supplier. the editor sonya guy is the operations manager at the sawmill and has been working with timber for 15 years. now. the mill also belongs to mounted architect and delivers tropical timber for customers in germany and other countries. it's high ecological standards and social commitment. make it a rarity and for all the what he is process sustainable. right. that. but certainly of that, there's a, we can track every step by step from standing treaty with the final destination model that kick one know you get this the no, but get that by that. so when the would arrive and it's sort of a, you know,

when and where it was cut down and my name was dispatched one, they'll say we know the entire supply chain, the law they gave us. so lucille mean garcia, it was always that got a note that the name on some supply chains include everything that is required to manufacture a particular product. the planning stage just followed by raw materials extraction and processing. then the manufacturer of the finished product before delivery to customers monitoring the entire supply chain is complicated and time consuming has cut to the encouraging isn't able to constantly fly to south america. she has to rely on verification by 3rd parties. if could find housing, phone i'm, we have an audit done by an independent non profit organization and it's up to you on as what the adversity engraving on that does is that a facility is usually go into the forest to check that every tree failed has actually been manage sustainably that blacklist had a nascar dish move out tough to fluid on the welfare. she can we check suppliers

via various sources. it's nice. most of them independent island, one that helps us to ensure that the wood really does come from sustainable sources from well, she does her best to monitor things herself. in many cases, industrial customers can't have their own eyes everywhere. and with ecological standards varying from country to country, not even engine goes like the f i. c, the forest stewardship council managed to ensure full transparency everywhere. which is why the f c labels are not without their critics. at the same time, the world wide fund for nature, photo, vanity and other environmental organizations recommend looking for the f. c. label when buying wood products, saying that it does provide an important indicator that's f, as i said, for us f. se is the best certification currently available, as well as it takes into account the highest ecological standards as well as social

factors on all kinds of data aspect of the whole system from the sawmill on the edge of the rain forest. the next stop for kind of encourage things would, is one of the biggest ports in south america. after arriving in lima, it's load it onto a ship headed for germany. from this point on, that would be extremely difficult to smuggle any legal timber along with the shipment, the, the tuning institute of what research is an authority on the precise identification of temper from all over the planet. here's a new sample of a. a demo heinz gave had cost receive inquiries from authorities, timber dealers, consumers and industry associations on a daily basis. charles checking boards to get to hear this from before that will be

a but which tropical trees species is involved. perhaps also because more of them are being placed under protection windows. so let's get started. we had in the fight against the illegal temper trade, the you require suppliers to prove the provenance of each timber email heights. could this team provide that legally water tank proof? in many cases, the experts from the tune and institute need to literally just look through a magnifying glass to determine this patients in question to be able to take a cut. anyway, they also examined the wood structure under a microscope to ensure their assessments are legally admissible. the tuning institute has an enormous archive to draw upon to identify the exact type of treat. it comprises around $11300.00 botanic lea, documented species from hard to heavy, to soft to light. it enables them to compare every sample that comes in. you'll

have some long listing institutes for all of your institutes. what collection is one of the largest in the world and includes around $35000.00 samples, video and one of the kinds of want to so when we receive an unknown, a red type of wood. and we can compared with our samples and see whether it's one of the, but technically documented species in the collection understand the, to how i saw this thing here. you know, it's all of them how well the species of a tree can be identified with a microscope and magnifying glass. it's precise origin cannot that's where forest geneticists, celine bill, and julie via comes in with a dna assessment. she takes a piece of wood and compares it with the genetic code or other types of treat specificity enough. these are dna fragments from a woods sample that apparently comes from the loretta region of northern peru and i'll have to take you on on here, hunger behind us. here we have 3 different reference samples from peru on the vin

via default. and if we look at the color of the p tier inc, and this is the red one. and as also seen in the reference sample from the north of loretta ida hoover, the samples from the southern area all have a black peak and design, which means that the northern laredo declaration matches up to take a hot soon on the headphone. so this sample of tropical timber does have the correct origin, but that's not always the case. it's cosigned for 2023. we have a total of 13 percent. with an incorrect declaration, we have phone input on either the wrong species, wrong origin or both of these and then best plastic. now have a false declaration, of course means the greater likelihood of it being illegal. uh, you know, the guidelines and the amount of orders for what species testing has grown continuously since the research institute was found. it yes, everything is supposed to be and i talked about some last and i want us to help curb illegal logging in. and in the process maintain the biodiversity of the

tropical rain forest offices, and at the same time, of course, and it helped to counteract to climate change. in cmo, at least slow it down to block away into minutes for a long song. that detective work plays a key role in making timber supply chains. both more secure and more transparent the several weeks after it was shipped out from for route cut to them, coating finally received her delivery of what the company warehouse outside cologne is stopped solely with her decide tropical timbers. better would, is a family run enterprise funds. how many do we have pays for 5 more and then that's it. together with her brother and father,

she prepares the delivery of plants that will be sent out today for a patio in poland. tropical tempers are extremely hard and robust, making them ideal for outdoor use. monday. so like people always think that regional is good. i'm funny. there's a tropical. what is simply a fantastic product was awesome. in comparison, the native would speak. these are by nature not as resistant sent for not to out when this big and so they have to be subjected to complicated. often energy intensive process is to increase that resistance hack a mocked bad despite the link the supply routes. tropical timber can be an alternative to german varieties of what provided, sustainable, harvested cause of encouraging is convinced that making tropical wood products will help to protect the reinforced is make that those mind to talk to. i want

my daughter to get to know the rain forest when she grows up to a mission investment and for more people to learn that tropical temper does not in itself destroy the rain forest, on the phone, on this as how to sustainable management. in fact, protects the forest. so that's what got invited to ship one desk. and that's particularly important to me coming as i do from colombia. so for me, the rain for is just kind of a reminder of home. i am a cut of encouraging supply chain is already deforestation free showing just what is possible when it comes to protecting people and the planet when the will and commitment. are there the or the

be or own health advocates by turning into your own x best with your without any fiction with, you know, supply be access to the way in good shape. smoke on d. w is always in signal to stop the
