WILD HILLS. WILDER COFFEE.
High up in Myanmar’s Arakan Mountains, a new generation of
farmers is changing how coffee gets grown—and what it can stand for.
Forget deforestation. Forget mass farming.
In the rugged Arakan Mountains of western Myanmar, coffee is more than just a crop.
It’s a lifeline—for farmers, for forests, and for one of Asia’s most endangered primates: the western hoolock gibbon.
With a little backing from Fauna & Flora Myanmar and NoFilter, local farmers are switching from slash-and-burn farming to growing coffee under the forest canopy—helping protect precious habitat and build better livelihoods.
Not just buying beans. Building something bigger.
Real conservation doesn’t happen with slogans. It happens when people have real options.
NoFilter is working alongside Fauna & Flora Myanmar to:
• Help farmers process and scale export-quality coffee
• Share profits so farmers can upgrade equipment & facilities
• Keep forest-friendly farming economically viable
• Tell the real, messy, important story behind every cup
Because protecting wildlife means investing in the people who
share their home.
