Connecting
the Rainforest

Indigenous communities have been the unsung heroes of rainforest preservation for centuries. By empowering these communities, we tap into centuries of knowledge and expertise, combating both deforestation and climate change effectively.

Tropical rainforests are crucial for carbon capture and climate regulation - they represent the largest source of carbon capture globally. Rainforests impact weather, biodiversity, air quality, and provide resources for millions.

Protecting rainforests is cost-effective and essential for our planet's health. With two-thirds of the world's tree carbon stored in tropical rainforests, focusing efforts here is paramount in the fight against climate change.

The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat—it's here. Over the past 200 years, burning fossil fuels has released carbon dioxide, heating our planet. This disrupts natural processes and threatens biodiversity. Deforestation is responsible for 8% of CO2 emissions, worsening the crisis.

Despite challenges, there's unprecedented global unity and action against climate change, promising hope for the future.
