Since we are based in California, we were surrounded by fires and bad air pollution for a majority of the this month. We have witnessed families, animals, and land destroyed from the devastation caused by this tragedy.
Unfortunately, forests are not only burning in California. There are several tropical forests around the world that are at risk of being burned or cut down. In order for our very existence to continue, we need tropical forest and all its inhabitants to thrive. Rainforest Trust is a non-profit that works around the tropics to strategically purchase and protect lands vital for endangered species and indigenous communities. Over the last 30 years, they have saved more than 2 million acres of tropical habitat across 53 countries in 150 protected areas and wildlife reserves. We are so happy there are people like them that work every day on this important issue and we are excited to be able to support them.
A portion of every purchase made in September was donated to the Rainforest Trust to support their efforts in protecting the most threatened tropical forests.
