The Vivo Life Team are climbing Mount Snowdon in complete darkness followed by a 20 mile bike ride through rugged terrain to raise money for Cool Earth.

Cool Earth are a UK based charity on a mission to prevent and reverse climate change. With this cause so close to all of our hearts we are determined to use our charity challenge to help change the world for the better.

So we've assembled a team of our staff and customers from all walks of life to complete this challenge together! All support would be greatly appreciated and all proceeds will be sent directly to Cool Earth.

Why Cool Earth?

COOL EARTH'S VISION IS A WORLD WHERE TROPICAL DEFORESTATION AND DEGRADATION HAS NO ROLE IN CLIMATE CHANGE.

With half of the world’s rainforest lost over the past forty years, we need a new approach to conservation.

The only way to halt destruction is to align the future of the rainforest with the people best placed to protect it. This means placing forest in the hands of the people who rely on its survival for their survival.

Cool Earth believes the rainforest can be saved. We just need a new approach.

They don’t create reserves or put up fences. They don’t buy land. Instead, they put local people back in control of their forest.

Local people stand to lose the most from deforestation but the most to gain from its protection. As such, they are the forest’s best possible custodians. That’s why all Cool Earth partnerships are community-owned and led – an approach that research is continually proving to be the most effective way to keep rainforest standing.

By developing local livelihoods, our mission is to end the cycle of deforestation entrenching villages into further poverty. Creating strong, self-determining communities – not dependency.

They are also the only charity that works solely where the threat to the forest is greatest, on the frontline of deforestation. And each of their partnerships forms a shield to make the neighbouring forest inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest.
