Create a Food Forest in the Amazon!
Donation protected
Our Goal: A grassroots global movement to create the Largest Protected Food Forest in the World!
Who are we?
Wisdom Forest began as a sterile cattle grazing land and has since transformed into an amazing permaculture forest and nature preserve over the course of 7 years, all thanks to the hard work of local staff and international volunteers.
We are creating the Largest Protected Food Forest Reserve in the World!
Our unique ‘Protected Food Forest Reserve´ project is based on ancient indigenous rainforest harvesting techniques and is be managed by the local indigenous Kichwa community. We are planting a managed forest of edible and useful trees, a true food forest, a forest of food that mimics the architecture and beneficial relationships of the ecosystem of the Amazon Rainforest. Trees are planted to stay planted- never logged. Hunting animals on the protected Food Forest Reserve is prohibited. The fruit trees create an alluring habitat for indigenous species such as Monkeys, Tapirs, Toucans and Hyacinth Macaws to return to, while simultaneously providing diverse food, medicine and materials for the local indigenous Kichwa people.
Why we need YOUR help NOW!
People are currently flocking to the Amazon Rainforest to cut down the lungs of our planet for timber and opening the earth for gold and oil. We need to act fast! Currently, there is a giant mining project expanding near Tena, Ecuador, ruthlessly cutting down the rainforest and contaminating the rivers with harmful pollutants such as mercury. The time is now to get up, stand up and show up for the planet and for future generations.
What your contribution will fund!
In the next five years we aim to save roughly 1645 acres (that’s double the size of central park in New York City), protecting an estimated 400,000 giant trees, preventing more mining projects and protecting the local town´s water source for future generations to come. The cost of the land alone is around $1,000,000 US dollars but our first step is to raise $100,000 to create a 165 acre reserve as soon as possible and then continue to grow from there. All funds collected from this campaign will go directly the creation the purchase of land, that will consequently count on the protection of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment as a ‘Bosque Protector’ (Protected Forest), through our Ecuador NGO, ‘Fundacion el Bosque de la Sabiduria’ (Wisdom Forest Foundation).
This is a lifelong project for our team members and we assure you that your donations will be managed properly, we will provide frequent updates and detailed financial reports will be available for everyone to see.
