RAINFOREST CONCERN

Rainforest Concern was established as a UK registered charity in 1993 to protect threatened natural habitats and the biodiversity they contain, together with the indigenous people who depend on them for survival. In 27 years we have helped to protect 2.2 million hectares of threatened forests. In partnership with Royal Botanic Gardens

Edinburgh.

WHY ARE RAINFORESTS IMPORTANT? By absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing the oxygen that we depend on for our survival. The absorption of this CO2 also helps to stabilize the Earth's climate. Rainforests also help to maintain the world's water cycle by adding water to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration which creates clouds.

LEARN ABOUT RAINFORESTS The rainforest canopy is divided into four main layers: the emergent layer consists of the tallest trees (emergent trees) which can grow to heights of 70m. These trees act as a buffer, sheltering he lower trees from heavy rains. Beneath this layer is the main canopy of smaller trees which are intertwined with climbing vines and hold flowering plants, called epiphytes, on their branches.

TYPES OF RAINFOREST

Temperate forest. This is a type of rainforest found at varying altitudes outside of the tropical belt. It occurs around the world, for example in the USA, Japan, New Zealand and Chile. It can include evergreen and deciduous broadleaf trees, and conifers such as the Redwood in the USA, or the Monkey Puzzle (Araucaria) in Chile.

SCHOOL RESOURCES

Rainforest Concern is committed to educating future generations about the importance of rainforests and conserving biodiversity. We have created a series of activity sheets to help children learn about rainforests and our work at Rainforest Concern for use at school or at home. These also help develop problem solving, creativity and writing

skills.

LEARN ABOUT RAINFORESTS The rainforest canopy is divided into four main layers: the emergent layer consists of the tallest trees (emergent trees) which can grow to heights of 70m. These trees act as a buffer, sheltering he lower trees from heavy rains. Beneath this layer is the main canopy of smaller trees which are intertwined with climbing vines and hold flowering plants, called epiphytes, on their branches.

RAINFOREST CONCERN

Rainforest Concern has been protecting marine turtles on the Caribbean coast since 1993. The great success of our work with the Pacuare Reserve saw a massive reduction in poaching of leatherback turtle eggs. As a result of this positive experience we have turned our attention to Urpiano beach, immediately to the south of Pacuare.

CARPATHIA RESERVE

The Carpathian forests are one of the most biodiverse areas in Europe. The Carpathian Mountains form some of the largest contiguous forests on the continent with the highest percentage of still virgin woodlands; they contain an extraordinary high number of species, amongst them many autochthonous species. They are also are home to the

Edinburgh.

WHAT WE DO

*

_ _ DIRECT CONSERVATION

*

_ _ ALTERNATIVE INCOME GENERATION

*

_ _ RESEARCH

*

_ _ OFFSET YOUR CARBON Direct conservation involves the protection and management of native forests to create protected reserves. This includes the purchase of land, usually in the name of the local NGO or the local communities, the registration of ancestral indigenous territories and the reforestation of cleared areas. Particular emphasis is placed on the creation of 'forest corridors' that connect existing protected areas and thereby avoid the risk of fragmentation. This greatly assists the effectiveness of these reserves by enabling species to move freely from one to another. Programmes of alternative income generation, health and education are developed with the local communities living near the projects. These are designed to reduce the negative human impact on forests arising through, for example, cattle ranching and subsistence farming. Examples of these projects include sustainable small-scale horticulture (for example cultivation of shade grown coffee), the production of handicrafts and responsible ecotourism. Scientific research is an important aspect of the work we do. Through long-term partnerships with institutions such as the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh and universities such as Universidad Austral de Chile, we have created research centres and scientific bases from which students may carry out their investigation. A number of scientific discoveries have been made in and around our reserves, including, in Ecuador, the rediscovery of the Longnose Harlequin frog _(Atelopus Longirostris)_ and the Olinguito _(Bassaricyon n__eblina_). Our carbon offsetting programme FOREST CREDITS allows users to offset their carbon emissions whilst helping to protect native forests, their biodiversity and the important environmental services they provide, creating a lasting environmental legacy. Our carbon calculations are carried out by respected independent third parties and are verified at regular intervals and include calculations of carbon stored in trees and the degree of deforestation threat.
