What is Tagua?

Tagua is an ivory-like nut harvested from palm trees indigenous to the South American countryside. Your Tagua purchase is actually helping to protect earth's animals and environment.

  • Discourages Poaching

Tagua provides a beautiful alternative to ivory, so demand is reduced for the slaughter of  elephants.

  • Creates Jobs

Hand crafting Tagua gives farmers needed jobs as well as keeps an art and culture alive.

  • Preserves the Forest

Tagua nuts are harvested without harming the trees so the landscape is preserved and the ecosystem protected.
