This site dedicated to information on how to help save the rainforests.

I have also included tidbits about endangered species and more. Our rainforests are being destroyed every second. A rainforest is the most complex and diverse ecosystem on earth.

Covering only seven percent of the earths land surface, rainforests are home to more than two thirds of the world plant and animal species.

Rainforests play an invaluable role in sustaining life on Earth.

Extending from the colder climates of Alaska and Chile to the tropics of South America, Africa and Asia, rainforests provide a critical habitat for many of the Earth's plant and animal species.

Although people often don't realize it, rainforests also play an important role in sustaining life outside the rainforest by regulating the global climate and the water cycle, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and providing us with medicines, food, and more.

Here in our country,
the last remaining rainforest
in Hawaii,
is now threatened with extinction.

Seven things YOU can do to help save the rainforests -- HERE

"The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us...."*Big Thunder(Bedagi)(Wabanaki Algonquin)*

"There are many things to be shared with the Four Colors of humanity in our common destiny as one with our Mother the Earth. It is this sharing that must be considered with great care by the Elders and the medicine people who carry the Sacred Trusts, so that no harm may come to people through ignorance and misuse of these powerful forces."

-Resolution of the Fifth Annual Meetings of the Traditional Elders Circle, 1980-
