A green revolution

Why am I supporting this project:

This cause is very dear to my heart. Being a concerned environmentalist, I feel it is extremely urgent we manage and protect our forests. It isn't too late to make a positive change now.

The rain forest acts as a life support system generating much of earth's oxygen. Furthermore, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is stored in their leaves, roots, stems and branches. Any imbalance in this eco system causes imbalance in the world and affects us adversely.

Here in the tropics, home to many species of plants, animals and microorganisms, habitat destruction through hunting and deforestation has profoundly affected the orang-utan. Their population has declined by 92% in the past century although there are concerted efforts for conservation.

Like a web, we are interlinked; mankind, animals and our biological treasure, the rainforest, are the essence of our ecology. MC1
