Ecuador's environmental treasure is becoming increasingly valuable. It is one of the countries defined as a "megadiverse" to underline the extreme richness and peculiarity of its ecosystems. In the province of Manabi, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is close to the capital Quito, we cooperate with the Universidad Estatal del Sur de Manabi - Unesum and the Federación de Agricultores Campesinas de la Zona Sur de Manbì. The project involved the construction of an agroforestry nursery and the planting of 20,000 coffee trees to support small producers while respecting the conservation of biodiversity.

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The coffee tree, whose seeds are used for the eponymous beverage, belongs to the Rubiaceae family. Though over 100 species are known to exist, supermarket shelves confirm that the most diffused examples are Arabica and Robusta. Coffee represents an important source of income for local economies.
Meaning
Energy
Coffee is the best-known natural energizer.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 5 kg
2024
0 kg
2034
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
