Why Rainforests?
Rainforests are the earths most essential ecosystems which are needed for our survival. The Amazon forests houses more than 50,000 insect species in just 1 single mile!
Deforestation has brought about an increase in carbon in the air by contributing over 12% of all Carbon dioxide emissions.
Climate change is no longer up for debate and deforestation plays a major role which needs to be addressed NOW. Here are some NGOs which are working towards reducing the impact of deforestation and you can work with them virtually in the fight with deforestation.
