Through this partnership, Herbivore is contributing to efforts to protect key sites for plant conservation in collaboration with the Cambodian Ministry of Environment, local authorities, and community groups – supporting national goals to increase forest cover and restore critical ecosystems. Alongside planting 3,600 trees to restore habitat, the initiative works with indigenous peoples and local communities to strengthen sustainable livelihoods and reduce deforestation pressures.

As a brand built on plant-based formulations, Herbivore depends on healthy ecosystems for the ingredients it uses. This partnership is a direct investment in protecting the biodiversity that makes those ingredients – and the broader skincare industry – possible.

"We're so excited to partner with Fauna & Flora, an organization that shares our commitment to plant life and biodiversity," said Alex Kummerow, Co-Founder of Herbivore Botanicals. "Everything we make starts with plant-based ingredients, so protecting the environments they come from matters to us. Together, we're supporting a biodiversity initiative to reforest two species on the brink of extinction because the natural world depends on diversity to thrive."
