We are convinced that companies have a role to play in the preservation of nature and biodiversity. It is not in opposition to associations. Each structure has its role and meets a need. We believe that a company is better able to raise and manage funds for large-scale intervention. On the other hand, associative projects are often carried out on a very limited scale, from uncertain medium-term funding.

On your personal space, you can track the projects you have contributed to. Every month, you receive a report indicating the progress of the projects.

You receive a certificate for each contribution to the site. It details what you have funded and your impact on nature. You can also download an invoice for each purchase made on the site.

aoa is primarily a Polynesian initiative for the planet. Our mission is to regenerate the forests of Fenua. These forests not only help mitigate climate change but also contribute to the economic and social well-being of our Polynesia. Plants provide numerous benefits, including for climate, biodiversity, health, and local employment. In general, plants and especially in the aoa forest, have significant benefits! Here is a non-exhaustive list: Absorption of CO2 Air purification Preservation of biodiversity Creation of jobs Restoration of damaged ecosystems Water filtration Resources for medicine With aoa, committing to the forest means committing to the future!

In the context of aoa's mission, regenerating a forest refers to the process of restoring and revitalizing a forest ecosystem that has been degraded or dominated by invasive plant species. This involves removing and controlling the invasive plants to create space for the reintroduction and growth of native plants. By restoring the native forest, it allows nature to regenerate as well. Native birds, insects, and forest fungi can reclaim their natural habitats, contributing to the overall health and biodiversity of the ecosystem.

Each project is implemented with a team of botanists. This team conducts an assessment of the existing vegetation and develops multi-year management plans based on the identified objectives. These management plans define the quantities and species to be used.

In the aoa project, agroforestry is integrated within the concept of native forest. It aims to recreate a self-sustaining ecosystem where plants work in symbiosis and optimize their respective potentials. This has scientific significance in terms of researching ancient plants that may be endangered, historical significance in rediscovering ancient knowledge about how to use these plants, and cultural significance in highlighting these plants in Polynesian culture.

The price of your participation and/or subscription includes the entire management of the aoa project, which encompasses various activities: Project initiation and funding for studies Removal of invasive plants Production of plants Planting of vegetation Replacement of any failed plants Environmental maintenance GPS recording of tree coordinates and photo monitoring Project monitoring to assess results and adapt management plans accordingly Regular project updates and communication about our actions.

The land belongs to the territory of Polynesia. Aoa has signed a 30-year renewable lease agreement with the landowner.
