Ingrid Tungen (NO), Head of Deforestation‑free Markets, Rainforest Foundation Norway. Ingrid Tungen leads the Deforestation‑free Markets team at Rainforest Foundation Norway, an international organization aiming to preserve the world’s remaining contiguous rainforest, where she works to reduce global deforestation driven by commercial actors and the demands from the global market.
