Forest and

biodiversity conservation

Each facility protects 40'000 hectares of rainforest including its biodiversity and absorbs 3.2M ton carbon per year.

The Opportunity? Real impact.

By connecting 10 franchises within 3 years, we protect 400'000 hectares of forest. With 100 new franchisees as the long term goal, we will be able to cover an additional 4 million hectares of forest, safeguard the sequestration function of 3.2 mln CO2e ton per year and lift 10,000 families out of poverty.

Cosmetics

Standing forests possess unlimited domesticated forests to harvest, process and distribute locally and internationally. Typical products: oils, minerals, butter.

Nutraceuticals

Beyond their basic nutritional functions nutraceuticals contain natural bioactive chemical compounds with scientifically proven properties to provide health benefits and/or prevent diseases.
