Earth's most precious resources, our rainforests
Earth's most precious resources, our rainforests
wHY WORLD RAINFOREST DAY?
Rainforests are vital for the survival of life on Earth. We depend on the Amazon rainforest alone for the 20% of the oxygen we breathe and the freshwater we drink. They absorb our carbon dioxide, stabilize climate patterns, and are home to half the world's plant and animal species.
Yet every minute, we lose the equivalent of 40 football fields of rainforests, which threatens our biodiversity and imperils our planet's health. Deforestation causes 15% of global carbon dioxide emissions that accelerate climate change-more than from all cars in the U.S and China combined. Natural climate solutions like protecting and restoring forests, however, could reverse global emissions by a third.
World Rainforest Day celebrates this precious natural resource and encourages action to preserve it. Your efforts, together with the actions of others, will have a positive impact on rainforests and the climate worldwide.

Kids Saving the Rainforest was donated 117 Hectares which is almost 300 acres, in Parrita, Puntarenas in Costa Rica
to be used for as a biological sanctuary to release rescued wildlife on it and to produce clean oxygen.
This rainforest will help the local wildlife such as squirrel and white-faced monkeys as well as three-toed sloths, our plan is to plant a mix of native trees and fruit trees, some of the species that will be planted are:
Manzana de Agua, Roble Cebo, Ron Ron, Pilon, Muneca, Lorita, Sota Caballo, Caoba, Hule, Aguacatillo and Laurel Negro.
The trees live in the rainforest forever.

WHY PLANT TREES?
Trees are crucial for the survival of all living species on Earth.
Trees:
Combat climate change
Clean the air
Create economic opportunities
Conserve energy, save water and provide food
Not to mention, forests provide habitat for 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity and livelihoods for 1.6 billion people.
