#WanakasetChallenge

Are you eating fruits? Keep the seeds and help them germinate at home!
Do not wait another day. You can actively and distinctively participate in growing our forest cover and its biodiversity by supporting the germination of every seed of every fruit you consume and nurture them until they are ready to be planted in Wanakaset’s Forest. When you do so, for every stay of one week or more at Wanakaset’s property in the south of France, you will enjoy up to 50 Euro discount per person for every 10 trees planted by each member of your group capped at 750 euros per stay of one week or more.

Those who booked through travel agents and other booking platforms need to contact them directly.

We also added a colour code to highlights the reasons that can unequivocally be economically quantifiable today, those that will be unequivocally economically quantifiable soon and those that are intuitive or need further scientific evidence or a shift in our way of being to understand the value. Note that Galileo, Einstein and Da Vinci had some intuitions that turned out pretty cool! “E pur se muove!”

Provisioning services are the products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, fiber, genetic resources, medicines, minerals, proteins, but also services such as education, learning and sciences. These are easy to monetise economically today.
