However, there exist many areas around the world beyond these that contain the last pieces of natural areas representing particular ecosystem types. Our goal is to support the communities living in and around these areas as well, and assist in the preservation, conservation and restoration of these resources through sustainable business enterprise. This is critical for the proper management of natural resources and the long-term viability of the project. FOW or the Worldforests Foundation will often provide or find funding assistance for these organizations, and will often provide a percentage of revenue generated from the sale of products to these broader community development projects. FOW Producer Group Web Services FOW offers a website service that can feature your products with photographs, product information and a description of your organization.
Banner advertisements are also available.
Website service fees are based on the number of photos and items listed. A commission on sales may also be used as a method of payment. The Worldforests Foundation is dedicated to the support of artisans and producer groups living in and around areas of highest forest biodiversity. There are several mechanisms by which this can be achieved. The first is a system of Direct Grants, the second is a system of Matching Grants, and the third is a Micro-lending Program.
