The Gecko Project is an investigative journalism initiative established to shine a light on the corruption driving land grabs and the destruction of tropical rainforests. It seeks to create and maintain a sense of urgency over the role of large land deals, predominantly for food production, in some of the most pressing global challenges: climate change, the collapse of biodiversity, food security, and the rights of indigenous peoples and other rural communities. We aim to achieve this through the production and promotion of in-depth, high-quality and accessible journalism.

IPIECA develops, shares and promotes good practice and knowledge to help the industry and improve its environmental and social performance.

The industry must work together to achieve improvements that have real impact. IPIECA helps to achieve this goal.
