Make It Count

We're ending 2020 full of optimism and hope.

That’s because, through everything, two things have stayed the same.

1. Rainforest remains our greatest natural resource, and supporting local experts is the best thing we can do to help stop the climate crisis.

2. Indigenous and rainforest communities remain resilient despite the threats of Covid-19 and climate change affecting their loved ones and their livelihoods.
