Will you help? Below are a few opportunities!
Tailored for companies
We believe in the power of 'tailor-made' collaboration.
What goals does your organization have in terms of offsetting CO2 emissions? We are happy to help you find the right solution for your company.
Examples
- Donate 1 m2 of forest per product sold.
- Offsetting the CO2 emissions of the entire company.
- Compensate for your employees daily commute
- Reforestation based on annual win rates.
Calculation
| Purchase 1 soccer field worth of land | € 2.000 |
| 410 cultivated trees | € 410 |
| Planting and maintenance for 10 years | € 590 |
| Total costs | € 3.000 |
There are two pillars for the purchase of land:
1. existing forest (to protect).
2. pasture land (for reforestation).
Our preference is to reforest pasture land, because that way we expand the amount of forest. And pasture land is easier to use than, for example, old palm oil plantations.
We buy existing forest if it is threatened by commercial activities (logging) and/or is located in a crucial place in the corridor. Usually a plot consists of both pasture land and forest, so we can serve both purposes in 1 sale.
Purchasing and protecting existing forest is cheaper than (labour-intensive) reforestation.
An average person emits 7.5 tons of CO₂ annually (transport & energy at home) [source].
Assuming 1 tree per 12m² and an annual CO₂ absorption of 30 kg per tree, compensation for 1 person requires 0.3 hectares of forest with 250 trees.
We use a cost price of € 1.95 per planted tree (excl. purchase of the land).

- You add this up to a total.
- We purchase a suitable plot to compensate for your emissions.
- You have 'a family forest' to be proud of!
- In an open conversation you each determine your CO₂ emissions (by means of the the CO2 calculator).

- Anyone who wants to can come and help reforest it.
- You have a 'forest with friends' to be proud of!
Give a piece of the jungle as a gift! You will receive a certificate from us stating the number of m2 of forest that you protect. Finally you have a really nice gift to give!
CO2 Compensation
We have various calculation tools available to calculate and directly compensate your emissions.
- You will receive a certificate for the compensated CO₂.
- You can post your NFF result on your own website.
- In addition to offsetting your emissions, you also contribute to the AMISTOSA corridor and the preservation of biodiversity.
- We are committed to planting the trees and protecting and monitoring 'your forest'.
Wish list for 2023
Objective: purchase and afforestation of 500 hectares of land.
Will you help? Below are a few opportunities!
PURCHASE
PLOT 13HA
This palm oil plantation is adjacent to our land. We want:
1. Show how to transform a palm oil plantation into a polyculture.
2. Use this piece of land for the connection of the ecoduct to be realized over the Pan American highway.
€ 55.000,-
PURCHASE
PLOT 23HA
The plot is adjacent to our land. 'This neighboring piece of land is only for sale once' so this is an opportunity that we are happy to take advantage of!
Perhaps you can finance this together with your suppliers or customers?
€ 95.000,-
PURCHASE
PLOT 40ha
This jungle plot is adjacent to the 23 acre plot. Both plots will contribute significantly to securing migratory routes for cats, prey and keeping poachers out.
This is an opportunity we don't want to pass up!
