AmazonLife
recognizes the importance of the Amazon Rainforest for life on the planet and
wants, through its products, to introduce its values into urban lives, creating
awareness of the social and environmental benefits.
They use their patented Treetap rubber, which is harvested only
once every two years that comes only from sustainably grown rubber trees. AmazonLife also has an alliance with the
rubber tappers' associations to help preserve the Amazon's traditional cultures
and forest ecosystem by sharing the Treetap patent with each of the rubber
tappers that are responsible for the production of the rubber and guaranteeing
respectable wages under its fair trade policy. This has
provided a sustainable
economic alternative to the timber and cattle industries whose activities
account for a majority of the Amazon's deforestation.
Through its dedication to
preserve rubber trees and help to reduce the degradation of the wild forest,
AmazonLife has helped to protect over 900,000 hectares of wild forest from
exploitation. Learn more at their
