Natural materials

  • Most jungle art is made from natural materials in the jungle, that has significant cultural, ecological, and emotional significance.

  • Traditional art reinforces culture, multigenerational family groups, and honors elders who achieve finer and finer products over time.

  • Jungle art is more than a style choice, it's a conscious decision to report Indigenous matriarchs in their area of mastery.

  • If you're proud of your art, then be sure and share your artisans page. Traditionally art curated by an elder is more valuable.

Non-profit

Our jungle art program is non-profit and primarily benefits women’s economies in deep jungle. Donate to support.

  • Jungle art is traditional trade for Indigenous communities and primarily benefits women who are usually excluded from initial payments for work on climate projects.

  • We only buy from artisans who are selling directly from the jungle using natural or traditional supplies.

  • We buy from artisans in cash at the rate they set in the community. Resell art with a QR code to their artisan page. If we get any extra revenue on resale, then 50% goes back to the artisan, and 50% is recycled back into the art program.

  • Jungle artisans typically experience a 100% to 800% percent markup on their goods in the city, and many city sales falsely take credit for the initial artwork. This program is to give credit where credit is due.
