The programme has five main goals:

To inform the Swiss and European import economy about new market sources
To strengthen trade institutions and business sector associations in the trade promotion process
To increase the competitiveness of SMEs in selected partner countries
To develop the manufacturing and exporting skills of SMEs in selected partner countries
To establish qualified trade contacts between SMEs from emerging markets and markets in transition and the Swiss and European import economy

One of SIPPO's special focuses is the natural ingredient sector where SMEs from 14 different countries are supported to access the European Market.

Medicinal Plant Specialist Group, Species Survival Commission, IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature

The Medicinal Plant Specialist Group (MPSG) is a global network of specialists contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants. The MPSG was founded in 1994 by the Species Survival Commission of the IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, to increase global awareness of conservation threats to medicinal plants, and to promote sustainable use and conservation action.

As part of the Species Survival Commission (SSC), the MPSG advises the IUCN on the technical aspects of species conservation and mobilizes action for those species that are threatened with extinction. Its members undertake to assess the state of medicinal plant resources world-wide, and to provide the Union with sound know-how and policy advice on conservation issues.

WWF

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of our planet's natural environment, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.

To achieve this, WWF is working with our many partners to:

Save biodiversity, and
Reduce humanity’s impact on natural habitats

WWF is strategically focusing on conserving critical places and priority species that are particularly important for their habitat or for people.

We are also working to reduce humanity's ecological footprint – the amount of land and natural resources needed to supply our food, water, fibre and timber, and to absorb our CO2 emissions.

2050 Biodiversity Goal
By 2050, the integrity of the most outstanding natural places on Earth is conserved, contributing to a more secure and sustainable future for all.

2050 Footprint Goal
By 2050, humanity's global footprint stays within the Earth's capacity to sustain life and the natural resources of our planet are shared equitably.
