Primary rainforests are home to huge biodiversity and are therefore important for the conservation of biodiversity. They are also our most important allies for a healthy climate. Once destroyed, they are irretrievably lost.

Every donation protects valuable habitat. Yours too.

Intact forests provide us with clean air and clear water. They ensure a cool microclimate and offer us space for adventure and recreation. For your donation, you will receive a personalized certificate with the exact geo-coordinates of the area of forest you protected.
