ONE BAR : ONE TREE > GO SEE
At the forest frontier of the Amazon, cattle and soya industries are illegally grabbing indigenous lands to convert wild forests into bare fields.
The harvest of Beni Wild cacao creates sustainable incomes for indigenous Movima and Arawak communities. In this way we help to show that indigenous territories are under sustainable management and not up for grabs. And to defend the the amazing biodiversity of the Beni Amazon.
ALL THIS IS POSSIBLE THANKS TO YOUR PURCHASE!
