Our mission is to restore the forest landscapes of the Amazon by strengthening forest communities. We do this by partnering with Amazonian farmers and native communities to regenerate forests and improve livelihoods. Our Objectives: - To learn about, protect and regenerate the biodiversity in the Peruvian Amazon. - To support indigenous rights, autonomy, and wisdom. - To spread sustainable ways of life and promote fair, regenerative development. Our Approach: Over a decade of planting trees in the Peruvian Amazon has taught us that the necessary tools, strategies, and technologies exist to bring back forests. Historically, efforts to restore tropical rainforests have been hindered by the exclusion of forest-dependent people, the critical actors in deforestation and in any attempt to regenerate forests. One of the factors that motivates many Amazonian farmers to pursue environmentally destructive activities, is market accessibility for products such as – timber, cash crops like corn and rice, cattle and charcoal. Yet, if given the opportunity, rainforest people are the most effective and knowledgable conservationists and regenerators of forest. For long-term forest landscape restoration efforts to be successful, bridges must be built to markets that prefer products sourced from regenerative Amazonian farms. Our approach centers around linking restoration activities to the production of non-timber forest products that offer improved livelihood for Amazonian communities. In other words, we are farmers working with farmers to plant trees that provide valuable fruits while growing the rainforest back.
