Wood Postive - The Body Shop

From now on, we will ensure that each year we grow and preserve more wood than we use in our packaging. We think it's a positive move – for us, for you, and for the two locations we'll be working in.

All the packaging in the Christmas catalogue is wood positive which means after the Christmas period the body shop will  plant 250 acres of saplings to replace the paper used.

NO 1: THE ATLANTIC RAINFOREST, BRAZIL

The Atlantic Rainforest is one of the most threatened habitats in the world. It is home to a diverse range of unique flora and fauna, but only around seven per cent of this amazing biodiversity hotspot remains.

We're working with the World Land Trust and Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu to restore and protect the forest at the Guapiaçu Reserve. Home to over 400 different species, the reserve also helps to regulate the water source that supplies many nearby settlements.

NO 2: THE SOUTHERN ANDES, ECUADOR

The spectacled bear, mountain tapir and puma are just some of the endangered species that live in the tropical forests of the Southern Andes – forests which are increasingly threatened by clearance.

Together with the World Land Trust and ‘Nature & Culture International – Ecuador’, we will plant and protect trees in this critically important area of Ecuador.
