Land purchase will protect these ancient plants and create wildlife corridors for continued specie survival. The rainforest will benefit from this land protection and extension by maintaining its mega biodiversity.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Preserving this ancient rainforest will give future generations the prospect of new medicines. Protecting this forest will store thousands of tons of carbon stored in the forest's biomass, and re-vegetating cleared land will give us oxygen.

Project Message

To care for and help save an important piece of the world is a moral act that your family and future generations will greatly appreciate.
