Last month saw NGOS, government officials and industry reps from all around the world descend on Durban in South Africa to take part in the UN climate negotiations. Up for discussion was the topic of saving tropical forests to help in the fight against climate change and to find out more about the outcome of those discussions click here.
The negotiations lasted 12 days and in that time our team on the ground planted over 86,000 trees in Harapan Rainforest to help restore the forest that has been damaged. Not bad for 12 days work ey?
Well that’s the end of our twelve days of a rainforest friendly Christmas. What’s the first thing you’re going to do to step up for tropical rainforests?
