About Us

Amazon Restore is a solution-based project focused on acquiring land that is currently being used for purposes
that are destructive to the environment – specifically animal agriculture and mono-crop plantations –
and reforesting with native trees, fruit trees, and other beneficial vegetation.

Many reforestation efforts fail due to lack of long-term stewardship.
When the land is left vulnerable to exploitation, the same destructive practices will continue to recur.
We focus on finding key areas that have already been destroyed by these practices and creating pockets of reforested areas,
preferably with as many fruit trees as possible, with the goal of eventually creating more contiguous forest zones.

While corporate- and government-funded initiatives have achieved large-scale plantings of one or a few pioneer tree species,
such plantations are inherently unsustainable and often succumb to drought or disease, providing no lasting ecological benefits.
Our focus on biodiverse food forests serves to align forest protection with meeting the needs of the protectors –
those who depend on the trees for sustenance are more likely to value the forest and to steward it responsibly.

For vegans who share our Core Values and are serious about doing their part for the Amazon,
we offer opportunities for long-term participation, either at our flagship restoration project
or in collaboration to expand the restoration effort to another area.

This is not intended to be a stand-alone solution to the destruction of the Amazon but rather a project aimed at
creating food security and self-sustainability with the benefit of improving the health of the Amazon Rainforest.
We intend to work together with other reforestation projects that have similar objectives of
restoring the Amazon to a more biodiverse and self-sustaining forest system.

No Bullshit?

If you’ve grown weary of the well-known “charitable” organisations that ask for donations
so that they can lobby governments, run “awareness” campaigns, and pay their management six-figure salaries…

If you feel reluctant to contribute to reforestation projects that plant impressive numbers of trees
and then leave them to be uprooted by chickens, trampled by cows, or eaten by goats…

If you refuse to support so-called “environmentalists” and “forest defenders”
who make ethical and ecological compromises in order to appease local animal abusers…

We are NOT a registered non-profit,
we do NOT cooperate with governments,
we do NOT condone animal abuse (local or otherwise),
and we do NOT accept corporate sponsorships.
We devote our time, effort, and resources toward taking real action to reforest and protect the Amazon,
not feeding the Babylonian bullshit machine.

If you are seeking a truly sustainable and ethical Amazon reforestation effort, look no further.

Vision

From the Andes to the sea,

a vibrant forest canopy.

No grass nor cows nor chainsaw sounds;

from paradise lost to paradise found.

Mission

The mission of Amazon Restore is to create a successful and ethical model of reforestation and sustainable food production
and to empower others to replicate that model in order to restore the Amazon Rainforest
and any other threatened forest ecosystems around the world.
