Gift Package: Support the reforestation of an acre of degraded land

All Photos A $50 gift can support the reforestation of one acre of degraded land in Central America. Only half of the original forest cover remains in Central America. From 1990-2005 alone, the region's cover declined by 19% - the largest percentage loss in Latin America. Destruction of forests translates into the devastation of habitat for countless species integral to the health of our complex ecosystems, increased erosion and severity of mudslides, decreased supply and protection of water sources, and decreased capacity for the Earth to absorb greenhouse gases that intensify global warming. Your $50 gift will allow local communities to reforest degraded lands with native tree species. This will create tangible environmental benefits by restoring habitat and stabilizing soil as well as providing sustainable livelihood opportunities within communities.
