Invitation to Webinar | Launch of Biodiversity Reporting Tool
The Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (PAMSA) invites you to attend a webinar marking the launch of its new online biodiversity reporting tool on 1 June 2026.
As South Africa updates its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), businesses are facing increasing expectations to measure, manage and disclose their impacts on biodiversity. In line with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Target 15 calls on companies to assess, disclose and reduce biodiversity-related risks, impacts and dependencies by 2030.
For many organisations, biodiversity remains complex to measure and even more challenging to report on in a consistent and credible manner. To support the forestry value chain in responding to these requirements, PAMSA, in partnership with African Environmental Services (AES) and Forestry South Africa, has developed an online biodiversity reporting tool.
This session will introduce the tool, demonstrate its capabilities and outline how it can support practical, standardised biodiversity reporting across the sector.
