Cool Earth Action - Protecting the Rainforest
Make Your Donation Count!
Cool Earth spends less than 10% of your donations on admin.
This could be the biggest difference you ever make to our environment.
Keeping rainforests standing is the first step in the fight against climate change. You can cut CO2 emissions today by protecting endangered forests with Cool Earth. With so many ways to get involved there's something to suit everyone.
Cool Earth protects rainforest to help combat climate change.
We're a charity working with local communities to secure forests at risk of being destroyed within the next 18 months. Only 10% of donations are spent on admin and governance, making sure every penny possible goes on safeguarding our climate.
Schools play a vital role in raising awareness about climate change.
To support schools as much as possible in their rainforest rescue efforts, Cool Earth has created a school zone where teachers can find innovative lesson plans and students can get involved with exciting events, competitions and ideas.
