Open Forest Protocol (OFP) has announced a collaboration with Peruvian agroforestry company INARSAC, supported by Lush Cosmetics, to enhance monitoring of the Fundo Exuberante afforestation and agroforestry project in Madre de Dios, Peru. The 200-hectare project focuses on forest regeneration with native species such as Brazil nut and shihuahuaco, as well as the recovery of endangered rosewood and sustainable cultivation of cupuaçu.
By integrating Fundo Exuberante into OFP’s digital monitoring platform, the partners aim to track key indicators of ecosystem restoration through a combination of remote sensing, community-led data collection and blockchain-based verification. This is intended to improve transparency, document long-term land regeneration and provide stakeholders with credible evidence of environmental impact. The collaboration underscores Lush’s strategy of going beyond responsible sourcing towards regenerative, ethical agriculture that supports local communities and secures a resilient, traceable supply chain for natural cosmetic ingredients.
