Our team

Get to know the people behind the scenes and between the trees.

Our team consists of passionate and professional volunteers. There are six permanent board members, an advisory board, and several ambassadors. All of us work on a voluntary basis, so all donations go directly to the purchase and protection of rainforest.

The board

The board consists of founders Maarten and Matthijs, who have been operating from Costa Rica since 2017, and 4 permanent board members in the Netherlands, who meet on a regular basis.
