Buy a Brazil Nut Tree in Flutter and support a sustainable Amazon

You might simply know them for “always rising to the top” of your nut mixture, but Brazil Nuts are a surprisingly crucial element in the plight of the Amazon Rainforest. As well as being a great food, the nut’s uses span cooking oils, cosmetics, artists paints and even clock lubrication! As such they’re a valuable commodity on the global market, but more importantly, they are a sustainable crop that must live in a balanced, thriving Amazon environment.

The indigenous communities of Versalles and Mategua in the Iténez protected area of northern Bolivia are two communities striving to break the trend of harmful mass logging, instead supporting themselves through the harvest of Brazil Nuts. But they are poor, under-resourced, and need our help. Together with our players we’re raising money to:

• Improve crop value through organic certification
• Build better storage facilities for crops
• Build gardens to support better nutrition for the farming community

20% of the purchase price of every Brazil Nut Tree in Flutter will go directly to funding these activities through WWF’s support programme in the Amazon. You can find the tree in the special WWF store, or in your Functional Items menu when in your grove.

We’ll be bringing you updates from the community as we progress the initiative and hear more about their story. Thanks for your support!
