Coffee beans grown in the shade take much longer to develop. Coffee that takes longer to develop contains more nutrients include the drug we crave coffee for…caffeine. coffee plants by nature love the shade and, thus, the best quality beans come from coffee plants that grow slowly under the rainforest canopy.

What can people do to help Toucans?
Toucans live in the Amazon rainforest, and are primarily threatened by deforestation. There are several ways we can help them, as well as countless other species from the Amazon. 1. We can buy Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paper and wood products. Unlike most paper and wood products, FSC Certified paper and wood products are harvested responsibly and sustainably, which means that they don't contribute to deforestation. 2. Buy shade grown coffee (if you drink coffee). A lot of coffee is grown in the same area as the Amazon. Shade grown coffee tastes best, but sun grown coffee has a higher yield, and therefor pays the farmers more. So they slash and burn the forest to make room for their plantations. However, shade grown coffee grows beneath the large jungle canopy, and then the people are using the land, so the jungle is protected. 3. Donate money to groups like the World Wildlife Fund that work to conserve endangered species.

Is there a solution to the habitat loss of hyacinth macaw?
There are some things that could help the habitat of the hyacinth macaw. Because they live in the Amazon rain forest, anything that helps them can help countless other species, too. 1. Buy Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paper and wood products. A majority of wood is harvested illegally and irresponsibly. However, FSC Certified products are sustainably harvested. 2. Buy shade grown coffee. This means that the coffee is growing under the rain forest canopy. Not only does it taste better, but shade grown coffee plantations protect the rain forest trees. 3. The other solution is that the farmers in Brazil begin to grow their crops in a sustainable manner. Normally, they slash and burn huge areas, and then farm there for a couple of years. By then the heavy rain has depleted all of the nutrients in the soil and there has been significant erosion. Then they burn more land, and the cycle continues.
How do you fight environmental pollution through cooking?
One way is to watch your food miles. Green beans from Kenya or Peru are lovely, but a lot of fuel is used to get them to you. Choose locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, and look into how your food is produced. Shade grown coffee is much better for the environment than that grown on cleared land.
