FairWild Standard

The current FairWild Standard (version 2.0) was developed through a combination of an original FairWild Standard, dealing with social aspects, and the International Standard for Sustainable Wild Collection (ISSC-MAP) dealing with ecological aspects.

Note: The FairWild Foundation makes every effort to ensure accuracy of translation, but some discrepancies may remain. The English version should be used as the reference in the case of any differences in meaning. Feedback on translation errors can be sent to the FairWild Foundation Secretariat.

Draft implementation guidance documents:

These draft implementation guidance documents were developed as part of a project piloting ISSC-MAP implementation in selected countries worldwide. This project began before the merger of ISSC-MAP and FairWild and consequently the documents only address the principles and criteria of the former ISSC-MAP Standard. The documents will soon be revised to reflect the merger and will be translated into other languages.
