The Foundation

One Meter at a Time is a non-profit organization focused on preservation of the tropical rainforest. Our efforts are centered on the belief that education and awareness are a start, but the only way to stop rainforest deforestation is to permanently preserve the land.

The Cuipo Rainforest Preserve

Through its preservation efforts, Cuipo has acquired 13,354,600 square meters (3,300 acres) of rainforest in Panama in Chepo, close to the Darien National Preserve. This land will be gifted to the One Meter at a time Foundation to be preserved in perpetuity.
Watch the video to tour the preserve.
