Pave the Rainforest

Recently I've heard an increasing number of people saying, "Save the Rainforest" But do any of the people saying this actually know what they're talking about? Environmental philanthropists have been accused of “green colonialism” after allegedly consigning 1,000 people to poverty in his attempts to preserve the Amazon jungle.

There has to be some kind of help for locals hurt by this. Now, with the lack of jobs, violence is increasing and because fathers cannot afford to look after their families we also have a growing problem with hunger and malnutrition.

The majority of the people saying "Save the Rainforest" only hear the part about animals dying. That is bad and all but I value a humans life over an animals.

Each year, the Rainforest is responsible for over three thousand deaths from accidents, attacks or illnesses.

There are over seven hundred things in the Rainforest that cause cancer.

Join the fight now and help stop the Rainforest before it’s too late.
