FAQ

Our cooperative buys degraded agricultural land in Panama and reforests it in accordance with the principle of generation forests. Concerned here are ecosystems (mixed forests) modelled on a natural rainforest with several storeys, which not only offset huge amounts of CO₂, but at the same time regenerate soils, store drinking water and create habitats for a variety of animals. Over time, the stock is thinned out repeatedly and the timber is sold at a profit. This allows us to generate a green return for our members, while the clearings serve as planting sites for the next generation of trees.

Intergenerational investment focuses on impact and not on maximising profits.
Slow finance: Sustainable capital investment without a limited project duration.
For us, our commitment is long term, but it also has an early impact: Through the reforestation of the rainforest and the associated positive effects for the climate and species diversity. For each day that our forests thrive, they make an effective contribution to the ecological equilibrium of our planet, while the economic value of your cooperative share grows continuously.
Cooperative principle: potential risks are minimised by distributing them among all members and the strength of the community is used to achieve a major impact even with a small amount – not only from the time when the trees start storing CO₂, but even before, since all the members co-own the entire forest stand.
The excellent qualifications and many years of experience of our partner company provide forestry expertise.

Climate change does not wait

Now is the time to make a difference together

Climate change continues to advance - with devastating effects. Global climate catastrophes, rising CO₂pollution, rapid global warming and a 1.5 degree target that is receding into the distance: the climate, our planet - and therefore our future - are threatened as never before. We need to act now and find a climate solution together. Here you can find out what you can do together with us.

nature positive: The key to a green future

A central approach to our work is holistic thinking. This is because we believe that we can only solve the problems of our time in the long term and sustainably if we reconcile ecology, economy and social issues. We cannot stop climate change by merely halting the destruction of forests.
We have to do more!

This very attitude is reflected in our nature positive concept: With our holistic approach of nature positive we reverse the previous destruction of nature. In this way, we create a possible solution to the global climate crisis and a path to a world in which we can continue to live safely in the future.
Acting nature positive is a prerequisite for us to have a chance to still meet the 1.5 degree target.

A term with a big impact: What does "nature positive" mean?

Simply explained, nature positive means stopping and reversing the degradation of the natural environment in our world. Reversing the current process of destruction of our planet is essential for successful climate protection: among other things, nature-positive solutions enrich biodiversity, freshen water and store CO₂. The focus here is on a holistic approach. Instead of only focusing on compensation or damage limitation, the resilience of nature, society and the planet should be restored sustainably and fortified. ^¹

Local forests with global impact

Our permanent generation forests as a nature positive solution

With our cooperative, we have deliberately opted for a holistic approach and thus also for an economic reforestation model. Only through such an economic approach can we create fair jobs for local people in the long term, finance social projects, preserve our forests in the long term and drive the necessary economic change.

Why you should become a part of our shared vision

There are countless reasons that make our social business a true - our - matter of the heart. Here are three of the reasons why you should become part of our shared vision. Because together we can achieve more!

Ecologically sensible and necessary:
Reforestation of the rainforest* is a sensible solution to climate change.

*Reforesting rainforest" is a frequently used term. However, it is not quite correct from a technical point of view: one should actually speak of the reforestation of tropical forests, since rainforests or virgin forests cannot be reforested by human hand.
