This winter we will be raising funds to support tribes in the Amazon and the forest itself. The current deforestation level of the Amazon is estimated to be 17 percent, and its tipping point at 20-25 percent. If the tipping point is surpassed, the largest rainforest on Earth could become—at best—a dry grassland.
The Amazon contains the single largest tropical rainforest on the planet. Covering some 40% of the South American continent, it spans more than 1600 million acres across nine countries. Over 400 tribes, each with a distinct culture, language, and territory, continue to live in a largely traditional manner, relying on these forests for their survival. Nearly 100 of these tribes are “uncontacted” or in “voluntary isolation,” and the forest offers their only protection. The Amazon’s role as a climate regulator is critical as the planet gets hotter and drier.
We want to help the Amazon and raise money for one of the charities working there: Amazon Conservation https://www.amazonconservation.org/
We have set up out crowdfunding page at https://www.paganaid.org/donations/amazon-conservation/ If you are able to give a few pounds it will go towards one of the most urgent causes.
