Sustainability of Iboga

Pangea uses a couple of forms of iboga and ibogaine HCL. The raw plant material & the majority of the purified extracts in the world are produced from the root bark of tabernanthe iboga, a perennial shrub native to West Africa. Unfortunately, there are many suppliers with plants of unknown or illegal origin, thus it is essential that a thorough investigation of the origin of the medicine consumed is, for both political and health reasons. 

​

Tabernanthe Iboga is now critically endangered and it is illegal to export from Gabon, mostly due to extreme Western demand and a lack of fair trade & ethical reciprocity. 

​

Pangea uses exclusively sustainable ibogaine hydrochloride derived from the voacanga africanis plant, which remains unthreatened. The total alkaloid T. iboga medicine used is grown in a sustainable plantation in Ghana, therefore not in violation of Gabonese law. **We know it is our duty to create a version of a truth and reconciliations movement, so to that end, Pangea donated many hours to the phenomenal ICEERS Ibogaine Initiative, which will be followed up by a second addition including field research. The purpose of this initiative is to cultivate practical reciprocity with knowledge keepers In Africa, as well as to unify a seemingly fractured global movement. You can find that report here:
