Cocolandia
@Cocolandia

Cocolandia is a vegan regenerative agroforestry project in semi-arid southwestern Ecuador. Situated on 11.6 hectares of severely degraded land, the project shall consist of building rich soil, minimising erosion, maximising water retention, and planting a symbiotic dry-forest ecosystem of tropical fruit trees and support species in order to rejuvenate the landscape while simultaneously providing food for ourselves in a sustainable manner. We have years of experience working on a similar project elsewhere in Ecuador. Our core values include respect for personal freedom and autonomy, animal rights, fruitarianism, non-hierarchical self-governance, minimalism (in regard to material possessions), and (nearly) zero-waste. Though the land is paid for, the owner currently lacks the funds to build a house, install solar electricity, or upgrade the irrigation and related infrastructure. Cocolandia is a fruitful oasis just waiting to be brought to life, and we humbly request funding so that we can save this land from further degradation as a result of continued grazing, which is what would happen if we were to move out. Any amount helps. To donate tools or plants/seeds, or to join us here, please contact us through our website: https://cocolandia.org/
