Published results of a survey commissioned by eBay show that nearly $1Billion is spent on unwanted Christmas gifts each year. In a bid to Rescue Christmas from unwanted — and unnecessary — gifts, Rainforest Rescue is promoting Rainforest Gift Cards as a way to save resources and rainforests while at the same time making Christmas gift giving stress free and wonderfully satisfying.

Through their ‘Christmas Rescue’ Campaign, Rainforest Rescue are offering Gift Cards devoted to a range of projects that allow purchasers to nominate number of trees planted, or square metres / hectares protected. Each card details the gift with a special front cover photo or exclusive Leunig cartoon along with an inner description of the project outcomes achieved.

Rainforest Rescue Gift Cards can be sent directly to a recipient anywhere in the world with a personalised message inside or they can be sent to the giver’s address for personal delivery.

Critically endangered species like the Daintree’s Southern Cassowary and Indonesia’s Orangutans are among many who have little to celebrate this Christmas. And with deforestation causing 25% of global emissions, protecting rainforests is really a gift for everyone. Through their ‘Rescue Christmas’ campaign, Rainforest Rescue urge all those concerned for our planet to consider this easy and affordable way to find the perfect Christmas gift for everyone. Orders can be placed online at www.rainforestrescue.org.au or by phoning 1300 763 611.
