The purchase of this delicious organic and Fair Trade chocolate benefits Costa Rican farmers, wildlife and many migratory birds that summer in North American gardens and winter on Costa Rican cacao farms. For more than a century Audubon has worked diligently to conserve and restore natural ecosystems that benefit birds, other wildlife and habitats. The cacao used to produce this bar of chocolate was sourced within or close to "Important Bird Areas", sites that have been identified as critical to the survival of birds and other wildlife. These sites help Audubon and other organizations prioritize conservation efforts. Theo chocolate, the first bean-to-bar organic and Fair Trade chocolate maker in North America is supporting efforts to recover the ecosystems many birds rely on. The Painted Bunting, often described as the most beautiful bird in North America, is suffering from long-term population declines and relies on the Important Bird Areas of Costa Rica during the nonbreeding season.

The sun is rising in the Democratic Republic of Congo after years of conflict and violence. In Eastern Congo, Theo Chocolate and Eastern Congo Initiative (ECI) have teamed up with Congolese cocoa farmers to make this delicious and crunchy vanilla nib chocolate bar. The cocoa and vanilla used to make this chocolate bar are all grown in Eastern Congo by dedicated organic farmers focused on quality and sustainability. The vanilla, grown in the foothills of the breathtaking Rwenzori Mountains, adds a delicious creaminess in contrast to the roasted crunchy cocoa nibs. Proceeds from this chocolate bar will be donated to ECI to support their work with Congolese farmers in Eastern Congo. See inside the label for more information.
