CENDEP
CENDEP was established in 1999 as a farmer group, with the mission of assisting and training farmers in the sustainable production and marketing of non-timber forest products. From the beginning, CENDEP worked for the protection of the environment, using the approach of ‘protection through domestication’, in other words, protecting threatened and commercial crops by growing them. Today CENDEP works in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon and in the West and Central African Region, focusing primarily on plant domestication and on restoring degraded forest lands, especially those that serve as watersheds using Analog Forestry techniques.

Asociacion para la Resiliencia del Bosque frente a la Inter-Oceanica ARBIO
We are a Peruvian non-profit association founded in 2010. We manage and protect 916 hectares (2,264 acres) of Amazon forest in the Las Piedras River basin, Madre de Dios, Peru. The organization is led by women and its purpose is to implement conservation models that are economically viable and sustainable for forest users with the participation of civil society and the private sector. We work under 3 pillars 1) Conservation 2) Science and 3) Awareness.
In the forest we prioritize the study and defense of large Amazonian trees whose age is estimated between 100 to 1300 years, irreplaceable beings that are currently being over-exploited by the logging industry. Since 2013 we have been part of the RIFA, we have a pilot plot in Puerto Maldonado and our forest is a seed source for the creation of Analog Forestry plots, providing genetic material from primary forest.
