Help Preserve the World’s Rain Forests

We’ve seen a report that logging rates in the Amazon rain forest have dropped 46 percent last year. But there is also satellite data available that claims deforested areas in the area increased 160 percent from the previous year.

In other words, it’s still vital to protect the Earth’s rain forests. The benefits they provide are so enormous, from medicines to wildlife habitat to their ability to moderate the planet’s temperatures.

Here are two easy ways you can help. First, join the Arbor Day Foundation and designate the cost of your membership to the Rain Forest Rescue program. For every $10 you contribute, you will help preserve 2,500 square feet of the rain forests of Mexico and Central America.

You can also switch to Arbor Day Specialty Coffee, the proceeds of which go to help preserve the rain forests. The Foundation’s fair-trade, organic coffee is grown under the canopy of the rain forest is fair-trade.

Since 1992, more than 2 billion square feet of the world’s rain forests have been preserved through the Foundation’s Rain Forest Rescue program.
