Wildlife Friendly® Fashion

The fashion industry relies on nature; wool, cotton, luxury fibers, and water are all essential resources. Yet, increasing environmental concerns demand that brands go beyond sustainability buzzwords. Consumers expect transparency, and brands must demonstrate real action in protecting the planet.

Case Studies

Patagonia

In Patagonia, Wildlife Friendly® in collaboration with WCS Argentina is working with ranchers and herders to transform wool production into a nature-positive and Wildlife Friendly® practice. Through the Certified Wildlife Friendly® program, we ensure that wool is sourced in ways that protect iconic species like pumas, guanacos, and Andean condors, while also supporting local livelihoods. This project has established a Certified Wildlife Friendly® wool supply chain, providing fashion brands with a responsible sourcing option that meets high ethical and environmental standards. Key conservation measures include non-lethal predator management, regenerative grazing techniques, and ecosystem restoration. 

Madagascar

Madagascar is home to 5% of the world’s species, yet rampant deforestation threatens its unique biodiversity. Tanana Madagascar proves that textiles can drive conservation while empowering local communities. Tanana Silk, produced by CPALI & SEPALI Madagascar, is Wildlife Friendly® Certified, supporting local livelihoods while protecting Madagascar’s Makira Protected Area. By cultivating native silkworms and weaving non-spun wild silk, farmers reduce deforestation and conserve critical habitats.
