Canopy
This is their hectare.
GPS-tagged parcels of living rainforest, adopted by families as a generational commitment — with quarterly biodiversity reports and children who grow up knowing the name of their tree.
Families who live inside the decision.
Every tile below is a real family, a real GPS coordinate, and a free printable for your next lesson — or your next conversation around the dinner table.

"My daughter named her tree "Abuela Verde." She writes it letters."
When we started homeschooling, we wanted science to feel alive. Our two hectares in the Tumbes-Chocó corridor gave our kids something no textbook could — a living classroom that writes back every quarter with new species counts and canopy photos.

"Our wedding registry. 47 guests, one hectare. It was the best decision."
Instead of another appliance, we asked our guests to contribute to a hectare in Ecuador's Yasuní region. The GPS parcel map showed up framed at our reception. Our first anniversary report showed three new orchid species.

"I gave my grandkids savings bonds for 30 years. Then I gave them this."
At 74, I wanted to leave something that breathes. Five hectares split between my three grandchildren. Each one gets their own quarterly report. My youngest, age 9, has already identified 14 bird species on her parcel. She knows more than I do.

"The satellite before/after image made our kids cry. Good tears."
We adopted three hectares bordering a previously deforested area. The quarterly satellite comparison images have become our most-used homeschool tool — watching regrowth happen in real time is a science lesson you can't manufacture.

"Our 6-year-old drew a map of "her" forest. It has a dragon in it."
We gave our daughter Lucía one hectare for her sixth birthday instead of a party. She named every tree on the GPS map herself. The biodiversity report came with 23 insect species — she's drawn every single one.

"Five years of reports. We've watched a forest heal."
We started with one hectare. Now we have four, and our kids — ages 8, 12, and 15 — each have their own section. The oldest is building her college application around the biodiversity data she's been collecting since she was ten.
