If we raise £100 we can help save an acre of Rainforest under threat. It is much, much, much, better for biodiversity, for carbon in the soil, for indigenous people – and wildlife who live there – to save natural forest than to cut it all down and replant again..
Remember that 1 in 10 food goods that we buy in the supermarket contain palm oil (labelled as vegetable oil) – most of it grown by burning down rainforest and planting oil palm plantations. And that 8% of greenhouse emissions come from burning forest and peat soils below them.
