The Amazon Rainforest has the world’s largest rainforest ecosystem, it spans 9 countries and is home to almost 30% of plant and animal species on Earth. By holding an estimated 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, its forests play a critical role in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, due to logging, unsustainable agriculture, and forest fires, it’s also a high risk zone for deforestation and degradation. Planting trees in the Amazon Rainforest will help conserve habitat for its iconic wildlife species, provide sustainable livelihoods to local people, and stabilize the climate.
Amazônia Essentials utilises the rainforest resources to provide the UK market with essential nutrient-rich products, from hair to skincare. It is only right that we do something to give back, so have decided to work with onetreeplanted.org to plant one tree in the Amazon for every order on our website.
This tree planting project will help protect the Amazon's biodiverse primary forests and restore degraded land. Onetreeplanted.org has partners who work with local farmers to establish sustainable agroforestry using shade-grown cocoa, native tree species, and productive timber species. They will also provide training and technical assistance for participants in the sustainable agroforestry model.
WHY PLANT TREES IN THE AMAZON?
We are a REGISTERED business partner with onetreeplanted, which means that we will receive certificates and updates for every single tree we plant, as well as reports on the positive impact these trees are having on the environment.
As our business grows, we will be supporting other organisations that are helping to conserve the Amazon Rainforest, as well as directly taking part in reforestation projects all the way in South America!
We keep our customers updated with every single contribution we are making to the rainforest and the planet. If you would like to find out more, please contact amazoniaessentials@gmail.com
