Roast for the Roar!
What is this project all about?
Saving jaguars? Seriously?
Yes, seriously. Because we believe:
Enjoying exceptional coffee and making the world a bit more sustainable doesn’t always require dramatic compromises.
And even if you're not exactly a (big) cat enthusiast, perhaps the prospect of a new temperature record in 2024 might concern you?
Here in Berlin, we love to be vocal about how hot the summers—and even the Aprils—have become. As the temperature rises, we treasure our Iced (Oat) Latte… Mehr anzeigen
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
We want to have the project coffee available permanently! The mission is to establish, enlarge, regenerate, and protect areas encompassing El Paso del Jaguar.
'Roast for the Roar' is for everyone!

Why would you support this project?
Because making an impact has never been easier:
Just drink the coffee you already enjoy every day. But better.

And that's wildly important because:

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
Nobody's personally profiting from your support.
We've calculated that a minimum of €30,000 is needed to finance regeneration efforts impactful enough to make a real difference.
To put it into perspective, with €30,000, we can regenerate at least 40,000 m2 of land.
Of the funds received, 65% will directly support the organisation Humedales Lancaster in Santa Marta.
The remaining 35% will cover artist participation, production, and shipping costs for rewards.

What are the sustainable development goals of this project?
Primary sustainable development goal
Why does this project contribute to this goal?
We are funding the development of a nature reserve within the Lancaster Wetlands, a crucial segment of the Barbilla-Destierro Biological Corridor. This corridor is essential for the migration of various species, especially jaguars, between North and South America. Our regeneration efforts are aimed at reversing soil degradation and protecting biodiversity for future generations.
This project also pays toward those goals
