Wild almonds from the wild almond tree
The Almendro, also known as the wild almond tree, is an important food source for great military macaws

Plantaciones Edelman, like Tropica Verde, is reforesting biodiverse forests in Costa Rica. CEO Michael Ott and project coordinator and founder Dr. Stefan Rother visited Plantaciones Edelman’s operations in Costa Rica in 2017. Since then, Andreas has been supporting Tropica Verde by providing seedlings of rare tree species, which have been and continue to be planted at the Reserva Kinkajou. Stefan and Andreas are in regular contact regarding Great Military Macaws, forest almond trees, and more. In 2022, the two conducted an interview in which Stefan described the current status of the Great Military Macaw—also known as the Bechstein’s Macaw—in Costa Rica. He also shares tips and tricks for installing nesting aids at dizzying heights. In addition, they explain why people might soon be able to eat forest almonds as well.

PATENSHIP

By sponsoring a rainforest, you’ll be supporting Tropica Verde’s current nature and species conservation projects, as well as its educational initiatives in Costa Rica and Germany.

The amount with which you conclude a sponsorship is converted by us into CO₂ equivalents.
25€ corresponds to one tonne of CO₂ saved over a year. All current projects are included in the calculation. By taking out a sponsorship, the existing primeval forests are protected, former farmland is reforested, new trees are planted and environmental education is also promoted. This combination of measures to protect the rainforest makes Tropica Verde's rainforest sponsorship unique.

For your donation of at least €25, you will receive a personalized certificate and a donation receipt for submission to your tax office. You can choose from the motifs shown.
