KEY: RAINFOREST CONCERN


The world’s rainforests represent a vast reservoir of KNOWLEDGE (KNOW) and hold potential for the DISCOVERY (DISCOVER) of new medicines and foods. There is no doubt that large-scale DEFORESTATION (FOREST) alters the climate – intensifying droughts in the dry seasons and floods in the rainy season. The result is fewer animal and plant species, soil EROSION (ERODE), a water supply which is UNRELIABLE (RELY) and poorer health for the local people.
By joining Rainforest Concern and sponsoring acres of THREATENED (THREAT) rainforest for the Choco-Andean Rainforest Corridor in Equator, you will be protecting one of the world’s most important ECOLOGICAL  (ECOLOGY) areas. Within these forests live an AMAZINGLY (AMAZE) high number of seriously ENDANGERED (DANGER) species of animals, birds and plants. You will also be helping to secure the SURVIVAL (SURVIVE) and culture of the Awa and Capayas indigenous people who still live in harmony with their natural environment.
