Climate Change and the destruction of the world's rainforests are challenges we can no longer ignore.

Destruction and burning of tropical rainforest releases carbon stored in trees and other plants into the atmosphere. This release of carbon contributes to the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions and Climate Change.

Our daily actions create a Climate Change footprint, so why not eliminate your individual impact by supporting Rainforest Rescue in keeping the carbon in the trees.

You can help reduce society's carbon footprint by supporting any of Rainforest Rescue's projects:

Carbon Sequestration

The process which removes CO2 from the atmosphere is known as carbon sequestration. Plants use photosynthesis to remove carbon from the atmosphere by incorporating it into biomass and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

The trees that Rainforest Rescue plants as part of its Plant A Rainforest Projects are helping to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
