Wildlife television presenter Steve Backshall and top businesswoman Deborah Meaden from the television programme Dragon’s Den have joined The Prince of Wales in calling for businesses to help protect the world’s forests.
At an event organised by WWF, Prince Charles met with representatives from some of the UK’s most successful companies, including Boots, Kingfisher and Kimberly-Clark, to discuss how they could help reduce the amount of wood products sourced illegally and from unsustainable resourses.
"Forests are vital to the life of our planet - one billion people around the world depend on them for their livelihoods and they are home to well over half the world’s terrestrial species,” said Steve Backshall.
“We all need to learn to respect the forest resources we have and use them responsibly. That starts with making sure that the wood products we all use here in the UK come from legal and sustainable sources.”
