Dunkelgrün projects
Dunkelgrün actively supports other organizations in the rainforest, either by drawing more attention to their work or through direct cooperation. At the same time, Dunkelgrün is implementing its own projects, which will continue to grow over the next 30 years. Here is an overview:
Own projects in Latin America
01
Active
Protected areas and reforestation for eco-tourism (Peru)
Together with an indigenous community in Peru - the Comunidad de Gamboa - protected areas are managed and timber is planted so that in the future no more trees will be taken from our own and new protected areas.
At the same time, ecological tourism offers should be implemented locally in order to create an alternative source of income for the village. The aim is to protect the rainforest sustainably.
02
In planning
Reforestation with the local environmental protection agency and the military (Colombia)
The administrative city of Leticia, located on the Amazon River, is in an early phase of deforestation. Together with the state environmental protection agency CORPOAMAZONIA and the Colombian military, reforestation with multi-purpose trees is being carried out. The local team of experts provides us with advice and active support in the planned purchase of land in an endangered zone.
Free network and consulting projects
03
Completed
Social media support and appeal for donations (Costa Rica)
In the form of an initial cooperation, the social media channels were professionalized and the reach of the tropical station la Gamba was also supported via the Dunkelgrün Facebook page. After a series of informative contributions, there was a call for donations to offset personal flight emissions.
