A unique model of sustainable agroforestry

or how to put the economy at the service of the environment

Choosing airpq means actively helping preserve primary forests and biodiversity by funding the planting of timber trees, fruit trees, medicinal plants, cocoa, or coffee in Ecuador.

Thanks to the work of our long-standing partner, the NGO Ishpingo, this sustainable reforestation approach is possible and is put at the service of people and the environment.

Every order funds the planting of a tree in Ecuador, supports rural families, and restores biodiversity.

Our mission

Connecting the economy with nature.

It is through Ishpingo that our work truly comes into its own.

    Training and education

    Farmers and young generations are trained in agroforestry techniques through the association’s educational farm. In partnership with the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment, workshops are held in schools on climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable forest management, with the aim of making every student an active participant in reforestation.

    Protection of living things

    Amazonian biodiversity is studied and mapped to guide conservation projects. Mother trees, native bees, primary forests—every action aims to counter the advance of extractivism and deforestation on indigenous territories.

Self-sufficiency

The trees planted—fruit trees, timber trees, and medicinal plants—help provide food, medicine, and building materials.

Fair incomes

Part of the harvest is sold through the cooperative, generating a stable income for local families.

Protected ecosystems

Trees protect soils against erosion, promote biodiversity, and improve water retention for more resilient ecosystems.

CO2 capture

Each tree planted acts as a carbon sink by capturing CO2, thus helping to slow global warming.
