WHAT ARE RAINFOREST AMBASSADORS?
Rainforest Trust is a charitable non-profit whose mission
is to purchase threatened forests and protect endangered
wildlife through community engagement and local
partnerships around the world.
To date, we have protected over 15 million acres. We have
a long history of working with school clubs, student groups,
and everyone who cares about saving the rainforest.
Teachers, students and their parents have made meaningful
contributions to the environment through Rainforest Trust.
To help foster this spirit of giving in our youth and highlight
all that schools do for conservation, we created Rainforest
Ambassadors - formerly known as Kids 4 Rainforests.
Our program offers educational support and recognition for
youth projects that raise awareness and donations to protect
rainforests. What makes Rainforest Ambassadors unique
is that it not only fosters learning about the wonders of
rainforests, but also gives students the opportunity to
protect them.
They organize their own rainforest fundraising events whose
proceeds save real acres inhabited by endangered wildlife. For
as little as 50¢, an acre of critical wildlife habitat can be
preserved and protected.
