June 5 – November 2009

Join Prince Charles, Harrison Ford, Joss Stone and the Dalai Lama to create a climate of awareness around the need to end tropical deforestation. Destruction and degradation of rainforests releases over 17% of green house gas emissions worldwide; and standing rainforests sequester another 20%. Help us get the word out that "If we lose the battle against tropical deforestation, we lose the battle against climate change." If you haven't already seen our 90-second film, please go to www.rainforestSOS.org. On June 5th, World Environment Day, The Prince's Rainforests Project launched a state of the art web application to educate and activate additional voices. This feature will enable supporters to film themselves with our frog; create small videos with friends as well as famous figures; and email and post on social networking sites and blogs showing their support for emergency action to protect the rainforests.
