Protect Trees – Protect Tree Frogs!

Irresponsible agricultural practices are threatening wildlife habitats around the world. An estimated 123,000 acres of forest are destroyed every day – and thousands of species lost each year – despite the existence of techniques allowing farmers to grow their crops in harmony with nature. These unique ecosystems are home to endangered animals and biodiversity.

Tree frogs and other amphibians are especially at risk. Frogs are an indicator species, evidence of an ecosystem's health or its impending vulnerability. Not surprisingly, the world's amphibian population has experienced a decline in recent years; research indicates that factors include chemical contamination from pesticide use, pollution, disease, and habitat fragmentation.

The Rainforest Alliance trains farmers in methods that safeguard the health of the land for future generations while boosting yields for today's markets. Through collaboration with farms, the Rainforest Alliance ensures the long-term well-being of farm communities, as well as the forests and wildlife on which we all depend. Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms operate throughout Central and Southern Americas, and use sustainable and responsible farming practices to conserve and protect the rainforest.
