SLEEK for Charity
All proceeds go to the non-profit organization Living Gaia e.V.
Living Gaia e.V. has been supporting the Huni Kuin since 2013. The largest project is the land acquisition project.
An reserve of 17,000 hectares (one-fifth the size of Berlin) is being created to protect the forest and indigenous culture.
In addition to the land purchase, Living Gaia e.V. is raising money for the construction of a village, reforestation, agroforestry systems, ecotourism and an Amazon academy for knowledge exchange.
The goal is to build an indigenous, self-governing model project that shows that the forest is worth preserving more than it is worth cutting down.
