Bananas are the world’s most exported and consumed fresh fruit. Ensuring a just and resilient supply chain increasingly relies on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), especially as new EU regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandate compliance across the banana sector.

A webinar, organized by Victor Prada and Valeria Villacorta, examines how integrating Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) into HRDD strengthens business performance, enhances worker well-being, and fosters resilient, equitable supply chains. This human rights-based, gender-sensitive approach improves operational efficiency, reduces costs, and boosts worker productivity and loyalty.

Rangelands cover nearly half the world's land, supporting unique biodiversity and pastoral traditions. Pastoralists raise animals, contribute to food security, and preserve ecosystems globally through their diverse cultural heritage and traditional knowledge.

The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026) calls for policies ensuring pastoralists' access to land and resources, supporting their mobility, and promoting inclusive governance. It encourages investments in rangeland management, ecosystem restoration, animal health, and sustainable value chains. This year is a unique opportunity to highlight their significance and the importance of responsible investments and tailored policies.

In July 1960, Jane arrived in what is now Gombe, Tanzania, to study wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries, including that chimpanzees make and use tools, changed science and redefined what it means to be human.

 

After learning about the threats facing chimpanzees, Jane shifted her focus from science to advocacy. She launched JGI's community-led conservation appraoch, Tacare, championed best-in-class animal welfare practices — including opening JGI's sanctuary, Tchimpounga — and later traveled the world nearly 300 days a year to spread her message of hope for our planet.

 

Jane reminded us that we all have the power to make a difference, and she especially believed in the power of young people to change the world. One of her greatest legacies is the youth program Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, which supports young people in 75 countries and counting as they make a positive difference.

Jane's groundbreaking work continues, and it is up to us to uphold her legacy. Join us in celebrating Jane on April 3rd by taking action for people, other animals, and our shared planet.
