Happy
Holidays from Rainforest Rescue
Dear friends of the rainforests,
People around the world are looking
forward to the holidays as a quiet time to catch their breath and
relax. For us, it's the perfect time to take stock of the past
year.
First and foremost, we're
grateful.
There are our partners in the
rainforests who encourage, motivate and inspire us. We consider it a
great privilege to work with these grassroots organizations and
amplify their messages to a worldwide audience.
Together we've achieved a lot for the
preservation of nature in 2023.
"The voices of the Indigenous
forest guardians are heard throughout the world thanks to Rainforest
Rescue," say our partners in the Indonesian province of
Papua on behalf of numerous local groups.
"Rainforest Rescue has done more
to protect our forests than the United Nations," says
environmental activist Lamin Seidi Cani from Guinea-Bissau. He says
it with a chuckle – but he's serious.
Recent successes like those in
Panama and Ecuador – where people power took on the mining
and fossil fuel industries and won – are a huge motivation.
We are also encouraged by the fact that the sell-off of
rainforests in the Congo Basin for oil exploration was
halted in 2023.
Please support our work with a donation.
It is people like you who make our work for the rainforests
possible.
A heartfelt "thank you" from our
many partners on the ground – and from all of us here in Hamburg and
Berlin.
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
Kind regards,
