For anyone who derives pleasure out of nature, Rainforest Trust Board Member, John Mitchell, encourages them to donate and consider leaving a bequest to Rainforest Trust from their estate. “Be as generous as possible—think of the species, the habitats, the difference you can make in mitigating climate change.” He emphasizes that even a small gift can be the difference between a species going extinct or not. “We are all interconnected in ways we don’t fully understand.”

“I believe we all have an incredible opportunity to make a difference. There’s no way to recreate a species once it is gone. Instead, we can protect rich and diverse ecosystems, incredibly beautiful birds, mammls, plants, frogs and even coral reefs for our children and grandchildren.”
