Why Donate
HOW YOUR DONATIONS WILL HELP THE ENVIRONMENT
DONATE TO ADOPT A RAINFOREST
Donating $25 Protects 833 square meters. 1 hectare has 10,000 square meters.
- This size area is the sanctuary for hundreds of mamals, birds, reptiles, anphibians, insects and other organisms, many nearing extinction and others still unknown. It also produces enough oxygen. enough for a family of 4 every day
Donating $50 protects 1666 square meters
- Along with the wildlife this would preserve thousands of species of plant life
- These are the hopes for future cures for diseases killing millions throughout the world. It also provides 2,000 literes of fresh water.
Donating $100 protects 3333 square meters or 1/3 of a hectare .
- Not only does it protect all the wildlife and flora, 1/3 hectare of rainforest absorbs 2 tons of C02 in a year, the amount of C02 emitted from burning 800 liters of fuel. If these forests were replaced by palms for bio deisel, the carbon absorbtion would be 90 percent less of what a natural rainforest provides.
Donating $300 protects 1 full hectare or 10,000 square meters.
- And that is one hectare of the 150 we hope to purchase at this time to add to Itapoa’s Reserve.
