First, thank you to everyone who has already contributed. Your support makes this work possible, and we don’t take it for granted.
This season, something remarkable is happening: two donors have stepped forward to match all contributions up to $20,000. This means every dollar you give will have twice the impact. Matching gifts are not just about numbers—they’re about amplifying what we can do together when we act now. Please donate today.
How You Can Help:
If this feels important to you, sharing this opportunity with others is a powerful way to extend your impact. Whether it’s with friends, family, or colleagues, every new donor strengthens our shared effort.e—just a chance to make a bigger difference together.

What We’ve Accomplished So Far:
It started small: 25 acres of cloud forest (September 2022). A beginning, but not enough.
With your help, we formalized as an NGO and added 6 more acres this year. That land, once at risk, is now protected (October 2024).
Where We’re Headed: Our next goal is urgent: raise $20,000 to protect 50 acres by the end of this year (December 2024). These 50 acres hold immense biodiversity, fragile ecosystems that cannot afford delay.
Why Now? The threats to this forest are real—deforestation, unsustainable development, and land exploitation grow by the day. If we don’t act now, these opportunities for protection will disappear. To understand more about why this matters, you can watch our video or read the full campaign here: https://gofund.me/ea41557a
We may not know each other personally yet, but our work is deeply personal. This forest, its life, and its future depend on people like you who choose to care.
Thank you for being part of this.
With appreciation,
