Atinkana’s conservation mission is sustained by income generated from the sale of organic specialty coffee, which is produced under the shade of regenerative agroforestry plantations that Atinkana has established over the previous 4-years, with native tree species and tropical food forests -- including cocoa, avocado, citrus, mango, banana, soursop, cassava, papaya, and a myriad-more fruits and tubers. Atinkana’s agroforestry plantations reconnect the biological corridors of the Reserve with the corridors of the greater Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta bioregion – one of the biocultural jewels of Latin America, which contains one of the highest diversity levels of birds and reptiles on Earth; a multiplicity of keystone species such as big cats, primates, tapirs, anteaters, macaws, condors; the 9-bioclimatic zones found in the tropical hemisphere, from the Caribbean ocean to glacial-covered peaks of 17,000-feet above sea level – all of which is stewarded by a spiritual mandate from the four indigenous communities that have inhabited their ancestral territory for millennia (the Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo).
