it's good to have you i'm going to throw out that map again it's from global forest watch it's almost all of the barflies are happening right now if we have a look at this and and and contemplate it it looks quite scary but are we going in a trend where we're seeing more wildfires happening around the world. i think you have to you know you have to be careful with that you know there are areas where we certainly are. western united states australia southern australia parts of the amazon there are others there's actually been a decrease in wildfire because we've cleared the land we've cleared the forest so we put it into. land so there's a net aggregate neil might want to comment on this there's actually been a kind of a global decrease in fire but that's not true for every place some places like western united states fire has ramped up this century and it's fred thank you so much yeah and they've actually what we see is that particularly in savanna ecosystems where most of the clone wildfires occur set received is really strong they klein and in wildfires of other 2525 percent annual

kind of people works with businesses that source from prying the forests to find green alternatives one of their main focal points is the global fashion industry what's your strategy how you're going to make a difference in this my experience is that it's some of these big global brands they have the ability to actually engage their suppliers to stop them from logging in ancient and endangered forest ecosystems and if we can redirect it to be more sustainable now using recycled fabrics rather than ending up in landfill and for the current capacity that's already in production let's just make sure it's not coming from really important ancient endangered forestry chance. so you're talking about kind of a 2 prong approach one is the kind of conservation stopping that deforestation the 1st place and the 2nd one is this recycling element so reusing what's already been produced so that's a big priority for canopy is to really help kick start commercial scale production on things next generation solutions like recycle clothing being used a confession to make i have to get thermal because i was terrified we're going to freeze and i lo
