How does Tropica Verde contribute to
CO2 compensation<\/sub> with?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Tropica Verde supports biologically sustainable reforestation and tropical forest conservation projects in Costa Rica<\/a> and thus makes a direct contribution to binding greenhouse gases.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

One hectare of 60-year-old tropical rainforest binds around 590 tons of carbon dioxide within this period and around 10 tons ofCO2<\/sub> every year thereafter [1]<\/sup>.<\/h3>\n

Old, mature trees bind much more CO2 per year than young trees. Tropica Verde supports both: on the one hand, we protect original primary forests, some of which have trees over 100 years old, such as the giant kapok trees. On the other hand, we plant young trees in mixed cultivation where necessary. For us, targeted means that we only reforest with locally occurring tree species in special buffer zones or forest-connecting biocorridors, which also expand the habitat of the animals. The aim here is to reconnect rugged areas and thus ensure that animals are able to migrate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Tropica Verde also supports environmental education<\/a> in kindergartens, schools and universities, helping to raise awareness and educate younger generations about the topic.<\/h3>\n

The local population is closely involved in the conservation projects and supports the establishment of tree nurseries, reforestation and patrols for forest protection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

As a small personal association, Tropica Verde attaches great importance to the correct and particularly transparent use of donations.<\/h3>\n

As a donor, you can therefore be sure that your donations will be used for current and future rainforest protection and environmental education. The DZI donation seal<\/a> confirms this needs-oriented use of funds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How is yourCO2 compensation<\/sub> calculated?<\/h2>\n

An average emission of 0.37 kg CO2 is assumed per kilometer flown.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Example calculation: A flight from Frankfurt to San Jos\u00e9 and back (18,709 km, 1 person, economy) generates approx. 6.9 tons ofCO2<\/sub>. A rainforest sponsorship of \u20ac25 offsets around 1 ton ofCO2<\/sub> [2]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Frankfurt - San Jos\u00e9 (CR) - Frankfurt
\n18,709 km, 1 person, Economy
\n6.9 tons of CO2 -> 173 Euro donation<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

OFFSET FLIGHT NOW<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This compensation is based on a mixed calculation, which consists primarily of the protection of existing tropical forests, reforestation, environmental education and a small proportion of administrative costs (approx. 13%) [3]<\/sup>. This means that approx. 173 euros are required tooffset the CO2 emissions<\/sub> of your flight, which we use for theCO2-reducing<\/sub> measures described above.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
