Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Me and my brother Paul will be climbing Ben Nevis in three weeks., in order to raise awareness of Cool Earth.
COOL EARTH IS THE CHARITY THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE INDIGENOUS VILLAGES TO HALT RAINFOREST DESTRUCTION.
Half of the world’s rainforest has been destroyed in the last 40 years. And, contrary to the headlines, rainforest continues to be lost at a faster rate than ever.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE. COOL EARTH BELIEVES THE RAINFOREST CAN BE SAVED. WE JUST NEED A NEW APPROACH.
THAT’S WHY WE DON’T CREATE RESERVES OR PUT UP FENCES. WE DON’T BUY LAND. INSTEAD, WE PUT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE BACK IN CONTROL OF THEIR FOREST.
By developing local livelihoods, their 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 form a shield to make the neighbouring forest inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT, COOL EARTH CAN PUT IN PLACE THE SIMPLE STEPS THAT CHANGE THE FATE OF AT-RISK RAINFOREST AND THE LIVES OF OUR INDIGENOUS PARTNERS.
I believe we need to break out of our comfort zone and work together. Do good, be good and feel good.
All donations and shares are much appreciated.
