This part of the website will be constantly changing as we look for more ways to do even better for the planet. For example, by paying farmers in Congo a fair price, we are actively combating deforestation. The forests where the mountain gorillas live are highly endangered. Because they have a good income, the farmers do not have to opt for deforestation and the cacao trees offer a good protection for the gorilla's habitat. In Peru, we have built a chocolate factory together with the local population so that the farmers there can make their own chocolate. They can now be part of the cocoa chain thanks to the new factory. The Awajun tribe in Peru that we work with live by slash-and-burn farming and control large areas of rainforest. As their population increases, the pressure on the rainforest increases and other sources of income are important for the survival of their way of life.
Cocoa is a perfect alternative here; it requires shade trees and can be planted in combination with other crops. It reduces the need for slash-and-burn farming and can prevent deforestation of the rainforest.
