SEARRP joins the Palm Oil Innovation Group

SEARPP has formally joined the Palm Oil Innovation Group (POIG) as a member, and has committed to contributing to the goals and initiatives led by POIG.

Established by the Royal Society in 1985, the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership (SEARRP) facilitates world-class scientific research that addresses the major environmental issues facing the tropics: sustainable plantation management and development, habitat restoration, and climate change.

Through a dedicated team which focusses on the delivery of impact, and long-standing links with government, forest and plantation companies and NGOs, SEARRP works hard to ensure that key research findings make a direct contribution to policy and best practice.

As a POIG member, SEARPP is working to find solutions to the challenges faced by the palm oil industry. SEARPP supports using responsible palm oil as a means for driving transformation in the palm oil industry so that it benefits both nature and people. SEARRP is excited to be a member of POIG and looks forward to working together to improve sustainable plantation development.
