FAQ

What exactly does The Generation Forest do?

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.

Does buying a cooperative share represent an investment?

  • 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.
