OUR VISION

Sanctu's mission is to nurture the Amazon and its while while bnringing prosperity to local communities. Small farms in the Amazon have lost forest area equivalent to the size of Germany, predominantly to low-productivity cattle farming, with half a million families who live on less than US$250 per month. Sanctu's platform harnesses the collective power of these low-income farmers and turn them into Guardians. The platform assists them in transforming their degraded land into native and biodiverse forests, and monetizing this by selling origin-controlled bioproducts and high-integrity carbon credits. Sanctu's potential is immense – by restoring only 5% of small farms in the Amazon, it aims to create a US$2bn revenue generational business, while simultaneously multiplying Guardians' income ten-fold
