Story
We all depend on tropical forests.
About 50 million indigenous people live in rainforests, depending on them directly for their everyday needs. The rest of us need the stability that tropical forests give to our climate, as well as imported products of every kind: from brazil nuts to rubber, from cancer treatments to hardwoods.
Tropical forests cover only 7% of the Earth’s land, yet they hold more than half of all plant and animal species.
A Rocha is helping to protect some of the world’s most important forests, studying their wildlife, and helping forest communities to protect their environment and improve their quality of life. We’ve already seen remarkable changes in the areas that we have invested in and with your help we can continue to make a real difference.
£10 per month could raise 40 tree seedlings for reforestation of degraded mangrove forest or dry forest.
£20 per month could pay for five days of tree seed collection for nursery development and forest restoration.
£40 per month could train a local woman in beekeeping.
