Due to climate change and the associated extreme weather events, plagues and pest infestations, the cultivation of highland coffee (Coffea Arabica) at lower altitudes of up to 1.000 m above sea level has become unattractive. Farmers are forced to cultivate their land differently or to migrate to higher altitudes. This development further accelerates deforestation and climate change and leads to social tensions. In the RobustAmazonia project, these coffee farmers are restoring their fallow coffee fincas with fast-growing Inga trees (Leguminosae) and can thus use their land to grow lowland coffee (Coffea Canephora, also Robusta) in a mixed agroforestry-subsistence economic system.

Place of implementation: The indigenous village community of Alto Covejo in the Vizcatán district, Satipo province, Junin region in the central Amazon region of Peru
The 100 families of the indigenous village (Asháninka) in the Peruvian rainforest receive a solar lamp (600 watts) per family. This allows the children, for example, to study in the evenings and do small work in the dark (from around 19 p.m. all year round). These indigenous village communities in the Ene River region are suffering massive intrusion from illegal loggers and the coca mafia. By using a drone, daily information about the forest destruction taking place can be transmitted to the responsible authorities so that the police can intervene and drive away the illegal forest destroyers. A confrontation between the village population and the armed troops is life-threatening.
The Centro de Educacion Básica Especial Don José de San Martín (CEBE DJSM) including parents receives a school workshop. With this project, the partners CADEP “JMA” and the FPA support the special education preschool and elementary school with 211 students between the ages of 3 and 20, some with severe and multiple disabilities. The project is intended to improve their quality of life and help existing material assets to be fully effective by carrying out regular maintenance and repairs, especially of aids. The equipped workshop will also produce custom-made products, adaptations, appropriate therapeutic equipment and didactic materials. Attention is paid to inclusion, occupational safety, resource conservation and gender equality.
