Nature-based products refer to goods derived from sustainably managed natural ecosystems and materials. These products have an opportunity to be sustainably harvested, produced or managed in a way that enhances biodiversity and ecosystem health. They can also contribute extra benefits, such as supporting peaceful coexistence with wildlife or contributing additional funding to rewilding initiatives.
