World Rainforest Day
Tropical rainforests cover only 2% of the earth's surface, but they provide habitat and food for nearly half of all living species. Each year, we lose 78 million hectares through deforestation and climate change. News reports are indicating we could very well see the Amazon die in our lifetime.
The Rainforest Partnership launched in 2007 to help protect the rainforests. They work with Indigenous Peoples to restore, regenerate, and preserve the lands. In 2017, they created this day to increase awareness and positive action.
We can all support sustainable production and make eco-friendly choices in our everyday lives. We can donate for tree planting and we can help our local wildlife to sustain global biodiversity.
It all starts with appreciating our home, its plants and its animals.
