Story


In 25 years Rainforest Concern has helped to save and protect

OVER 5 MILLION ACRES OF RAINFOREST

Want to join me in supporting a good cause? I'm raising money for
Rainforest Concern and your contribution will make an impact, whether
you donate a little or a lot. Anything helps. Thank you for your
support.

Rainforest Concern was established in 1993 to protect threatened
natural habitats, the biodiversity they contain and the indigenous
people who still depend on them for their survival. Since 1993 they
have helped to protect, over 5 million acres of Rainforest..... 2.2
million hectares of threatened forests.
Since 1993 Rainforest Concern
have worked over 30 conservation projects in 13 countries

 Brazil.... Belize... Chile..... Colombia..... Costa Rica....
Ecuador..... Romania..... Suriname..... Panama.....
Peru...... Shri Lanka...... India...... Uganda

With the extremely low cost of saving an acre.. being a paltry £50...

 A sum such as £38000 could save... 760 acres.. just over the size of
..the City of London.. referred to as.... the square mile... which
is....the historic center and the primary central business district.
...being 1.2 sq miles = 716.80 acres.


Just imagine for a moment..... the amount of wild animals.. insects and plants there are in 1 acre... a staggering large amount... !!! .

So I am proposing to you Good  Sisters and Brothers .. humbling asking if you would like to be part of a large ‘Crowd Funder’ to save a section of the Rainforest for ..Winter  Solstice...2018..   completing the year with a huge positive vibe and a ..Down to Earth .. effective.. rescue of some of our collective.. planetary lands.. the Gorillas Homelands.... and all the myriad of life living therein.                                                                       Rainforests are THE LUNGS of OUR WORLD.

760 people sponsoring just 1 acre would be £38000
Lots of contributions of any size would also be £38000

LETS GIVE a massif THANK YOU to RAINFOREST CONCERN
for their 25th ANNIVERSARY by the WINTER SOLSTICE... 2018

SHARING and PROMOTING this FUNDRAISER will bring SUCCESS.
TOGETHER we can make a positive change to save our beautiful Rainforests
