At this time of accelerating Global Warming, deforestation of tropical forests defies comprehension. It constitutes a crime against the Earth and future generations.
In 2003 tropical
forests were destroyed at an incomprehensible 1 acre every two seconds.
Felling to date has caused
1/5 of Global Warming.
Losing forests is a double negative for climate change. The stored carbon is released into the atmosphere at the same time as the means of removing further CO2 from the atmosphere is lost.
Forests are known as carbon sinks because they act as repositories for carbon. Global forests store approximately 80% of the carbon stored in vegetation, of which 60% is stored in tropical forests.
Putting Rainforests into trust is one of the most effective conservation actions you can make. Simultaneously you help prevent Global Warming, protect indigenous forest peoples and reduce the rate of species extinction on the planet.
Rainforest Concern are actively involved in purchasing and replanting threatened rainforest habitat in the Choco-Andean rainforest corridor in North-West Ecuador, one of the world’s biodiversity “hotspots” You can sponsor the purchase of 1 acre for just £25 www.rainforestconcern.org
