Support
The rainforest needs all that you can offer it. Here are five ways beyond donations that you can support the protection of the Congo rainforest and all who live in it.
Volunteer
Offer your skills and time to an organization protecting rainforests.
Amplify
Use your online presence to notify people of needs and accomplishments in rainforest preservation. Point them to effective organizations to support.
Network
Help organizations with related interests to find each other and collaborate.
Conserve
Companies extract from rainforests in response to consumer interest. Consider the source of your potential purchases, like the wood used in furniture. Decrease the burden on rainforests by consuming less and releasing less carbon into the atmosphere.
Learn
There are several informative websites and books on rainforests. Links to more information are present throughout this website. A couple of good books to start with are Rainforest, by Thomas Marent, and Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane.
