Teachers, you can help us in many ways!
First, you can tell children about our online resources including this website, our blog, and YouTube channel so they can learn about the rainforest, how it is being destroyed, and information about how they can help to save it. You can expand your research with older kids about how the rainforest contributes enormously to the overall health of our planet by cleansing earth’s atmosphere. Educating kids about the urgent need to work to save rainforest areas is very important in raising the priority of rainforest preservation for the coming generation.
You and your class can visit the sponsorship section of our website and adopt a tree, sponsor a monkey bridge, simply make a donation or choose several other meaningful ways to help the animals of the rainforest directly.

It is the hope of our organization that teachers who have learned about KSTR and its pledge, will make efforts to educate their students about the rainforests of Manuel Antonio and help raise money to assist us in protecting our local rainforests.

KSTR sends a HUGE thank you to the students and teachers of Pantera Elementary School! They sold over 400 shirts to help raise money for KSTR. Some of them even adopted trees and sponsored animals—aren’t these kids amazing?!
They already recognize the importance of saving the rainforest at such a young age, imagine the change they will create in their lifetimes!

Kids & Education
Welcome to the Kids Saving the Rainforest Kids & Education section of our website. Check back here soon as we'll be adding more project ideas and activities that will help you and your school help us save the rainforest and protect the natural wonders of our world. In the coming year we look forward to including more useful information for teachers to help educate about the rainforest and will provide examples on how your school can raise money to help the animals in the rainforest of Manuel Antonio.
Kids have built amazing rainforest environments in their classrooms, completed extremely successful and rewarding service projects donating thousands of dollars to help the animals of the rainforest and have been kind enough to dedicate their birthday or bat/bar mitzvah dollars to KSTR. These inspiring actions continue to build enthusiasm and encourage kids to learn why our rainforests are so important and why we should all work hard to save them. |
It's Never too late to help!
"Hi, we’re grade 8 students from Osnovna sola Pivka, Slovenia. During one of our English lessons we read an article about the ‘Kids Saving the Rainforest’ project. It was an article in our English book, and many of us felt it was just something that had to be read and nothing more. But after our English teacher showed us the project website and a few videos on endangered animals and how the rainforest is being destroyed, we began to think differently and wanted to make a contribution to the project too. Even though it often seems that environmental problems like the ones mentioned on the website are too far away to be real, in reality they are very close and spreading fast. With our donation of $40,00 we bought two mango trees that will be planted in the wildlife enclosure in Costa Rica to help the endangered monkeys that are being raised there.
We all feel very happy to have been able to help with our contribution small as it was.
Thank you Janine and Jennifer for letting us help save our beautiful planet."

Over the next few months we look forward to providing more materials for teachers for service projects, their rainforest curriculum and plenty of ideas for how kids can be meaningfully engaged in helping to save the rainforest. Stay tuned!
