Today we're seeing that climate change is about more than a few unseasonably mild winters or hot summers. It's about the chain of natural catastrophes and devastating weather patterns that global warming is beginning to set off around the world.. the frequency and intensity of which are breaking records thousands of years old. -Barack Obama ------ The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun. -Ralph Nader ------ We want a national emissions trading scheme, the Government does not and has rejected one for years. We want to boost the mandatory renewable energies target, the Government has failed to do that. We want a national demand side management strategy for the country to reduce electricity consumption and the Government, up until now, has done very little on that score. -Kevin Rudd

We Invite YOU to Join us in our Mission:

To Protect the Future of the Planet and for Generations to Come


 

Covering less than 2% of the Earths surface, the worlds rainforests are home to 50% of the Earths plants and animals.Today, more than half of Earth's original rainforests have all been destroyed due to unsustainable agriculture, ranching, logging, mining and other destructive practices. Rainforests are among the most important and yet threatened ecosystems on the planet.

Being concerned about global warming, the impending extinction of different species, or the destruction of the rainforests isn't enough to save the heart and soul of our ecosystems. Action is needed by the global community now!

 

You can chose exactly where you want to sponsor a reserve by clicking on our Living Grid overlaying the real time satellite imagery that is refreshed daily. Any Adopted Reserve will be put in your name or that of your company, cause or loved one as you may chose. Now, anybody can look at the affects of deforestation over thousands of years progressed to where we are today and what we, the Raintrust Global Net, are doing to actively participate in revitalizing the world’s ecosystems.

Rainforests of the World

 RainForests extend from as far as Alaska and Canada to Latin America, Asia and Africa. They nurture thousands of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth and provide life's essentials such as our medicines, food and water.

RainTrust is working around the world in places to protect rainforests, engaging local and indigenous communities in creative solutions that balance the needs of people with nature.

Why Should You Care About the Rainforest?

Besides providing food, water and air to the rest of the world, rainforests offer critical habitat for many of the Earth's most interesting and rare plants and animals. Read on for more rainforest facts:  

  • Temperate and tropical rainforests help regulate the Earth's temperature and weather patterns.
  • Rainforests provide jobs to surrounding communities.
  • Rainforests contain many of the essential plants used in the treatment of cancer.
  • Fifty percent of the world's plants and animals can be found in the rainforest.

 

Every year, 50 million acres, an area the size of England, Wales and Scotland combined, are cut down. Primary rainforests in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Haiti have been lost entirely, with the Ivory Coast fast approaching the same fate.

Every second of every day, a slice of rainforest the size of a football field is mowed down. That?s 86,400 football fields of rainforest per day, or over 31 million football fields of rainforest lost each year.

Threats to Rainforests

  • Threat: Less than seven percent remains of Brazil's Atlantic Forest which once covered 330 million acres. Expanding urban areas, increased agricultural and industrial development threaten this rich, fragile forest and in so doing threaten the well-being of the surrounding communities that rely on the forest for their economic prosperity and livelihoods.
  • Threat: Indonesia's East Kalimantan forests, unsustainable and illegal logging destroy the precious forest ecosystem and disrupt the lives of the surrounding local people.
  • Threat: In South America's Amazon Rainforest, ranchers are turning forests into pastures and roads are slicing through dense tropical trees. This deforestation destroys the tremendous biological diversity just waiting to be discovered as well as the valuable resources we rely on from the Amazon like important medicines that treat cancer patients.
