Criteria 2.1: Criteria 2.1: Practices are adopted to ensure sustainable use of the species cultivated or wild collected, and to prevent or mitigate negative impact on other species
2.1.9 (For wild collection) Information is available on the status of the wild collected species within the wild collection site. Species inventories, scientific studies or local knowledge are used to obtain information.
|
Information shall include, among others:
varieties of the species collected
conservation status
location of population of sourced species
reproduction system and replacement rate of the sourced species
reproduction rate
population structure
interdependencies with species in close proximity
Information can be gathered by commissioning or conducting studies, learnings from field experience and local knowledge. Information is adequate when it provides insights that can be used to inform the management of the collected species and the implementation of collection practices in line with the relevant biodiversity requirements of the UEBT standard (e.g. 1.2, 2.1, 2.2).
For compliance (score 2) at least information listed under the first five (5) bullet points above is to be available. The UEBT Baseline assessment template includes all relevant information to be gathered and can be used for reporting.
OaS is responsible for gathering this information. The OaS can consult external experts, individual or groups of pickers, and other relevant informants in the process of gathering relevant information. Pickers are to be aware of the characteristics of the collected species.

DOCUMENTATION
The UEBT Baseline assessment template filled out can be used as evidence of compliance or any other documents reporting relevant information on the wild collected species.
INTERVIEWS
Conversations with relevant informants that show the relevant information is available/known can be used as evidence for compliance. Scoring guidance
0 - No information is available on the characteristics of wild collected species
1 - A plan to gather Information is defined and information sources are identified
2 - Most of the relevant characteristics of wild collected species are known but information available can be further integrated to be completely adequate
3 - All relevant characteristics of wild collected species are known and information available is adequate
N/A – in the justification, please explain why
