Protecting Coffee’s Evolutionary Legacy
Of the 130+ known wild Coffea species, approximately 60% are at risk of extinction. Most conservation efforts are fragmented, underfunded, and carried out in isolation.
The genetic diversity held in wild coffee populations is irreplaceable — for the future of the crop, for the communities and ecosystems that depend on it, and for coffee’s capacity to adapt to a changing climate.
