| Notes: | Leaflet inserted into every packet: x0Dx0APRESERVING WILD ARABICA AND IMPROVING LIVELIHOODS The Yayu Forest Reserve in Ethiopia is one of the last and most important remaining places for the conservation of wild Arabica coffee. Wild coffee forests and surroun, ding forested areas are part of a coffee farming system that benefits livelihoods and nature conservation. We are working with the communities at Yayu to improve the quality of their coffee, which via Union Direct Trade means that better prices are paid t, o the farmer. If the coffee is worth more, the value of the forest also increases, providing an incentive for its preservation. x0Dx0ATHE YAYU PROJECT Working together with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Darwin Initiative, and local partners, our aim is, to:x0Dx0AImprove the long-term livelihoods of coffee farmers at Yayu. x0Dx0AProtect the biodiversity of the forest, which is home to hundreds of plant and animal species, and important natural populations of Arabica coffee x0Dx0AIn addition to the quality premium pa, id to farmers, 25p from each Yayu coffee bag sold goes towards ongoing research and community development at Yayu.
