Tropical forests are the lungs of the earth, storing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen in a never ending cycle of life. The Atlantic Forest - one of the biggest tropical forests in the world - helps regulate the atmosphere and stabilize global climate.

Forests support 1 billion people on Earth, their livelihoods, their water supplies, their energy and their cultures. The Atlantic Forest - The focus of this campaign - alone provides clean water and hydro energy for over 120 million people in Brazil.

The Atlantic Forest is home to 23 species of primates, 1,000 species of birds and over 20,000 species of plants, an extraordinary array of biodiversity. Many of these amazing species are found nowhere else on Earth.
