About Rainforest Concern
Rainforest Concern was established as a registered charity in 1993 to protect the world's tropical rainforests and the incredible biodiversity they contain, together with the indigenous people who still depend on them for their survival. We have projects throughout the world, including Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama, Sri Lanka, Brazil and Chile. |

HOME TO HALF OF ALL LIVING SPECIES - DON'T LET IT DISAPPEAR.
Many tropical rainforests are between 60 and 150 million years old and are still evolving, It is estimated that they contain over 30 million different species of animals and plants. These different species depend on one another for food shelter or reproduction as part of their highly complex ecosystem.
Tropical rainforests contain over half of the Earth's plant and animal species, so it is vital that we protect their rainforest homes because without them they cannot survive. Many indigenous people who make their homes there have been living in harmony with the rainforests for hundreds and even thousands of years, depending on it for their medicines, food and shelter. They manage to take everything they need from the forest but are careful not to destroy what cannot grow back naturally within a generation or two.
The world's rainforests are still being destroyed as fast as ever. The result - fewer animal and plant species, soil erosion, an unreliable water supply and poorer health for the local people. There is no doubt that large-scale deforestation alters the climate - intensifying droughts in the dry season and floods in the rainy season.

How you can help?
By sponsoring acres of threatened rainforest for the Choco-Andean Rainforest corridor in Ecuador, South America, you will be protecting one of the world's most important ecological areas. Within these forests live an amazingly high number of endangered species, many of which are found nowhere else on earth. This is why the region has been classified as one of the world's 'biodiversity hotspots'. You will be helping to secure the survival of rare and endagered animals such as jaguars, pumas, tapirs, sloths and monkeys, hundreds of species of birds and thousands of species of plants.
Your sponsorship, for yourself or a friend or loved one will be a wonderful gift for your children, their children and the Earth itself.
