Go Green

Rainforests extend as far as Alaska and Canada to Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Fifty percent of the world’s plants and animals can be found in the rainforests. Rainforests nurture our plants and animals, provide jobs to surrounding communities, contain many of the essential plants used in medicines, and help to regulate the Earth’s temperature and weather patterns. More than half of the earth’s original rainforests have all been destroyed, most destruction having occurred in the last 50 years. Every year, 50 million acres are cut down. Primary rainforests in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Haiti are completely gone.

It takes your help to protect our Earth’s Great Rainforests-preserving life!

Once a hide-out to pirates, islands are now the homes to many species of animals and marine life. Islands and their surrounding waters cover 1/6 of the world’s surface and support a high ratio of endemic species- plants and animals found no place on our planet. They contain more endangered, threatened, and rare species than anywhere else in the world. With more than 500 million people living on more than 100,000 islands around the globe, island conservation is important in the preservation of food, jobs, and economic stability. Climate change and invasive species show immediate affects upon islands. Five percent of the global economy is affected by invasive species that damage the native plants and animals. Releasing aquarium fish into our lakes and streams has disrupted the natural balance of fish. Climate change is caused by the emission of heat-trapping gasses; mostly carbon dioxide. As these gases build-up, they create a “thick blanket” overheating our planet, changing our weather, and affecting our health, economy, and natural environment. The US has become wetter over the 20^th century and the Sahel region of central Africa has become drier.

The fate of all islands is

to blossom and then fade...

"Every second, a slice of rainforest the size of a football field is mowed down. That's 86,400 football fields of rainforest per day, or over 31 million football fields of rainforest each year."
