Projects
Rainforests cover a beautiful tropical belt around the globe. With every new campagne we choose a representative of one of the main Rainforest areas, our first campagne stars the heros below.
The Gorilla (Current Project)
The Gorilla, definitely a Flagship awesomeness representing the areas of still remaining African rainforests. By protecting the habitat of big animals like Gorillas, indirectly many more species of plants and animals benefit. Since they all thrive in the sam habitats, and these large herbivores need extensive areas to survive.

The Orangutan
(Future Project)
The Orangutan needs no introduction, this great south east asian Ape is as Charismatic as they get. As with the gorilla they represent the wild jungles, and if we manage to protect them we manage to protect the remaining beautiful rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo. Which are a refugee for an uncountable amount of animal and plant species.

The Cotton Top Tamarin aka 'Titi' (Future Project)
Small and definitely not as famous as his cousins from Afrika and Asia but nevertheless we are a huge fan of the charismatic monkey. It does not occur in the moist rain forests but in the tropical drylands forest of northwestern Colombia.

Why Rain forests?
Well, next to that they are simply awesome… They are of major importance to the global climate, rainfall, freshwater and oxygen levels, so we all benefit from their existence. Then we did not even mention yet the astonishing amount of animals, plants, fungi and amazing human cultures, that these powerful forests hold, nourish and sustain. This makes them in our opinion the most amazing habitats on earth. Luckily, there are still some beautiful unspoiled areas out there, and we want to help to keep it that way.
