If you save the forest, �you save the future
Some knowledge about the region I want to support
If you save the forest, �you save the future
The Amazon rainforest covers nearly the entire Amazon basin in South America, which spans six million square kilometers across nine countries. The majority of the forest (approximately 60 percent) is located in Brazil. Another 13 percent is in Peru, 10 percent in Colombia, �and smaller parts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, �Suriname, and French Guiana. States and administrative units �of four countries bear the name Amazonas.
The Amazon rainforest encompasses over half of the world’s �remaining tropical rainforest and has the highest biodiversity �among all tropical forests, based on vascular plants as an indicator. �Amazonia is home to one of Brazil's six major biomes, covering �approximately 49 percent of the Brazilian territory.
The purpose of my project
When I was born, another godfather gave me a special savings plan as a gift. Every month, my godfather buys a little piece of the rainforest for me, and a small amount of money is saved for me as well. That's why I've had conversations with my godfather about it from time to time.
Due to the inspiration and generous gift from Yoshi and Jon, I have now delved deeper into this topic. And I was shocked, frustrated, and saddened to learn all of this.
Did you know that the Amazon rainforest plays a very important role for our planet?
The Amazon rainforest is of immense importance to our planet for several reasons. Here are some explanations of why it is crucial to protect the Amazon rainforest:
The protection of the Amazon rainforest is a global responsibility as it has implications for the entire planet.
By preserving this unique ecosystem, we can conserve biodiversity, combat climate change, secure water supply, and respect the rights of indigenous peoples. It is crucial that we collectively work towards the protection of the Amazon rainforest.

Unfortunately, there are many enemies, so we must fight and support!
There are various criminal activities surrounding the Amazon rainforest that contribute to deforestation. Here are some of the main reasons and interests behind the deforestation:
5. Infrastructure projects: Major infrastructure projects such as road construction, dams, and mining operations encroach upon the rainforest and often cause massive deforestation and environmental destruction.
It is important to note that not all deforestation in the Amazon is illegal. There are also legal and regulated deforestation for specific purposes such as sustainable forestry and community development. However, illegal deforestation remains a significant problem that threatens both the environment and indigenous communities.
There are various interest groups that benefit from the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, including land occupiers, illegal timber traders, large-scale agricultural companies, mining corporations, and corrupt officials. The motives range from short-term economic gains to the exploitation of natural resources.
Addressing these criminal activities requires comprehensive collaboration between governments, environmental organizations, indigenous communities, and the international community to strengthen law enforcement, promote sustainable land use, and reduce the demand for illegal products.
Support �as well!
The forest protectors plant trees where they are most needed and have the �greatest impact on our climate - in the tropics. Currently, they are planting �trees in Peru, protecting the rainforest in Panama, and managing sustainable �cocoa plantations in Peru.
They do this under fair conditions for people, guaranteed ecological for all �animal and plant species, and with guaranteed benefits for the climate. �The GiftTree trees are intricately rooted with the various plants and trees �in their surroundings. They provide a home for many insects, amphibians, �birds, and mammals. Rare animals, whose natural habitats are shrinking, are �repeatedly sighted in their forests.
They plant the trees themselves, protect the forest, and guarantee that they �do not grow in "turbo forests" or chemically contaminated monocultures for �quick profit. The GiftTree trees are intricately rooted with the various plants and trees in their surroundings. They provide a home for many insects, amphibians, birds, and mammals. Rare animals, whose natural habitats are shrinking, are repeatedly sighted in their forests. They have been doing this since 1995 as part of the forest experts at ForestFinance.
The "Forest Protectors" are an organization that actively and determinedly tackles the challenges of our time. They take on the fight against large corporations and governments to protect the Amazon rainforest - an area of immense size and importance for our global climate, and therefore for all our comfort. Supporting the "Forest Protectors" thus offers the opportunity to be part of an ambitious and significant mission.
The "Forest Protectors" work with a well-thought-out and structured plan to protect the Amazon rainforest. They not only stand up against deforestation, but also have concrete measures for reforestation and for the protection of indigenous people and biodiversity. Financial support thus flows into well-thought-out and structured projects.
The "Forest Protectors" are passionate and energetic in their pursuit of protecting the Amazon rainforest. Their initiatives, such as selling "gift trees," are creative and optimistic ways to raise awareness of their cause and motivate people to act. Financial support for the "Forest Protectors" is therefore a way to share in this positive energy and passion and contribute to solving one of the most pressing problems of our time.
The Amazon rainforest is home to a variety of plants, animal species, and indigenous communities threatened by deforestation and environmental pollution. The "Forest Protectors" are committed to protecting their habitats. And thus also for the stability of the world's climate. The world needs the lung of the Amazon to survive! A donation to the "Forest Protectors" is therefore a contribution to the preservation of harmony and balance in nature and to the protection of those who most urgently need our help.
Thank you for doing something �for our planet and thus �for my future!
My personal conclusion and my future
Jon and Yoshi asked me what has changed for me now and in the future, looking ahead to the year 2030.
Well, even now I think about rainy days differently. Previously, they would just annoy me. Now, I think it's good to have enough rain. Ideally, everywhere in the world. Without severe storms, massive floods, and dramatic droughts. I want to live in a world where nature is in balance.
I hope that in the future, things will improve with all these events. That everyone will participate. I myself �try to do it in my daily life, but it's not that easy. Using less plastic, for example, is a big challenge for me.
In the year 2030, I see myself there: I want to study marketing, communication is something I'm good at, and it might also help. I don't know who will read this presentation, but ultimately, it's also marketing and communication and can make a difference. So, I see myself in college and living in a shared apartment with friends, I'm still playing handball and still riding horses. I hope that by then, our planet has already started to recover, instead of becoming more exhausted, and that there is peace in the world.
