We contribute to the Rainforest Trust
This cause is dear to our hearts.
We aim to contribute to the Rainforest Trust by donating some of our proceeds to help the trust. This will be a contribution that you will help with by purchasing our products! The Rainforest Trust's goals and objectives are to save 20 million acres of intact forest and safely lock up 6 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalents. This is more than the U.S.'s annual total of CO2 emissions.

Forests are disappearing rapidly due to deforestation. Rainforest Trust wants to protect 20 million acres of intact forest in the Brazilian Amazon, which is equal to the size of South Carolina. This will cost $40 million and will be achieved over the next four years.
Safeguarding critical habitat is the most effective way to protect species.
Rainforest Trust protects rainforests and other tropical habitats that sustain the greatest concentrations of endangered species. By 2025, with your help, these protected areas will provide a lasting home for nearly half of all threatened bird and mammal species on Earth.
The Rainforest Trust protects the world's most threatened species by protecting the ecosystems they depend on. So far, the Rainforest Trust and contributors have protected 2,627 critically endangered and vulnerable species. The Trust protects rainforests and other tropical habitats that sustain the greatest concentrations of endangered species. By 2025, with your help, these protected areas will provide a lasting home for nearly half of all threatened bird and mammal species on Earth.
A million species are at risk of extinction this century, each unique and irreplaceable. The leading cause is habitat destruction, and the most valuable habitat is rainforest. In 2020, more than 10 million acres of rainforest were destroyed, an area the size of Switzerland, 12% more than in 2019.
The solution is to expand nature reserves. Since 1988, we have sponsored the creation of 45 million acres of protected areas; less than 1% of the forest area within these has been lost. This has saved thousands of species from extinction.
Thank you for your support!
