Dunkelgrün works together with the indigenous Ticuna community in Gamboa (Peru) on the Amazon.

The project comprises three main components:
1. the establishment of a nature reserve
2. reforestation measures
3. promotion of eco-tourism

The nature reserve was established in November 2022 and covers around 150 hectares. Dunkelgrün is helping the people of Gamboa to protect the reserve in the coming years.

By the summer of 2023, Dunkelgrün had financed over 600 trees planted by the community. This native timber will be available to the families for their own use in future. This will reduce the pressure of deforestation on the surrounding areas.

We are also promoting sustainable tourism and education in Gamboa. Because the protection of the rainforest should be ecologically, economically and socially successful.
