The Amazon rainforest loses on average 12’302 square kilometers per year largely as a result of unsustainable commercial practices from farmers, who in order to make a living, clear forested lands for agriculture, cattle raising and illegal crops. The Caqueta region has suffered for decades from the Colombian armed conflict, fueling the poverty levels of 42.1%, amongst the highest in the country.
Over a hundred families are continuously providing fruit to Mukatri collectively protecting around 13’000 hectares of the Amazonian Piedmont, while having an average income increase of up to 40%.
Mukatri achieves:
Impact Reach | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016e |
# of protected hectares | 3'720 | 5'200 | 13'096 | 14'405 |
# of supplier families | 62 | 93 | 102 | 165 |
By investing in Mukatri, we align with and contribute to five of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
