Over 20% of the world's Greenhouse Gas Emissions are caused by the cutting and burning of forests. By comparison, the entire global transportation sector is responsible for roughly 14% of annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Climate Change is probably the single largest challenge that we face today! Even with a rise of 1°F in average global temperatures over the century, there is an increased risk of drought and floods, increased poverty and economic losses. It is time that every single person does their bit in reducing the impact of climate change.

Stopping Deforestation is probably the easiest option for combating climate change!

By Sponsoring a Forest, you help us in ensuring that deforestation stops and landowners take action in protecting and restoring their forests. Become a Sponsor and do your bit in the fight against climate change.
