Amazon Rainforest Conservancy hasn't added a story.
Hi Folks,
I’m Jana Bell the founder and president of Amazon Rainforest Conservancy (ARC).
While it’s true that some natural regions around the world are getting a break from human activity during COVID, the opposite is true for the Amazon. Environmental groups on the ground (including ARC) are seeing a surge in deforestation activities since the onset of COVID 19.
I've witnessed this destruction first hand. I have seen vast areas of ancient primary rainforest devastated by illegal logging. I've visited illegal gold mining camps that have transformed pristine wilderness into mercury-polluted moonscapes. I’ve walked on the roads slicing through previously remote and inaccessible areas where indigenous people live in voluntary isolation. It was these startling experiences that propelled me to launch ARC in 2014.
So what can we do? We need to unite to defend the Amazon Rainforest at this critical time. ARC is currently raising funds to purchase the title of a 22,000-acre piece of pristine rainforest. This land is a haven for endangered wildlife and a buffer zone for indigenous groups living in voluntary isolation.
But we need your help to make this happen. ARC has $115,000 in reserve toward this land purchase — we’re almost half way there. We need to raise the final $130,000 needed or this land will be sold to a logging company and effectively destroyed.
Remember, in North America, we’re all volunteers working from our homes. We don’t have the executive salaries or overhead of some other conservation groups. This means every dollar you donate to this comedy event goes entirely toward saving the Amazon rainforest from destruction.
Let’s have a laugh and save the Amazon Rainforest together!
Best,
Jana
