Preparing for a Sustainable Future

Iboga Sustainability

Respect for the ecosystem

We at Ibogatreatments.com strive to preserve the Tabernanthe iboga tree by practicing iboga sustainability in response to the numerous threats it faces. For this, we have farms in Central Africa.

Reliable information has emerged throughout time indicating that the Tabernanthe iboga plant may become extinct in the rainforest of Central West Africa.

The most common source of ibogaine, an alkaloid that has been used experimentally to treat substance use disorders since the 1980s, is the iboga plant.

What Is Iboga?

Ibogaine was made from the Tabernanthe iboga plant, which is found exclusively in the equatorial Central West African jungle.

Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroon are home to the majority of these rainforests. The availability and sustainability of the iboga tree in its many ecosystems are under threat due to human-caused factors.

How Does the Threat of Extinction Affect Iboga?

First and foremost, the increased awareness of the Tabernanthe iboga tree poses a serious threat to its sustainability.

The Bwiti religion, which uses the iboga plant as a sacrament, is more popular than ever, and there is now a lot of positive information about its transformational benefits in the West, especially in the treatment of addiction recovery.

Despite the fact that ibogaine treatment is still illegal in the United States, its use and legality in Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Brazil have led to the emergence of numerous addiction recovery centres that assist individuals in detoxing and recovering from drug addiction.

Iboga is in greater demand now than it was previously because of these two quick shifts. This is arguably the biggest threat to iboga as a plant and drug overall, despite efforts to maintain its availability and sustainability.

Due to the growing recognition of Iboga’s value, particularly in addiction recovery, alongside the rising practice of the Bwiti tradition, where Iboga is used as a sacred sacrament and for divination, and combined with increasing global population pressures, the Iboga tree is now facing a serious risk of near extinction.

At Ibogatreatments.com, we are deeply committed to the sustainability of iboga. We believe that if we all take small, responsible steps toward conservation, together we can create meaningful and lasting change.

Our goal is to ensure that iboga remains available for generations to come, not only for those seeking healing worldwide but also for traditional practitioners who depend on it for spiritual and cultural practices.
