Human consumption is stripping away the tremendous variety of wildlife and biological diversity of the rainforest.
In recent years, tropical deforestation has emerged as one of the leading causes of both global warming and decreased biological diversity. As the rainforest dwindles and human threats increase, the population of rare rainforest species like the jaguar plummets.
The Selva Maya is one of the most important tropical rainforests on earth and home to the jaguar. Some of the Selva Maya's resources can be preserved through work with indigenous communities. But before we can truly save endangered rainforests, an international change in attitude must be made.
The holidays are notorious for the consumption of resources. You can be one of the leaders in rainforest preservation by becoming a more conscious consumer.
This holiday season, pledge to give at least one gift that conserves, rather than consumes, rainforest habitat!

Human threats such as logging are stripping away the tremendous variety of wildlife and biological diversity of the rainforest.
I pledge to be part of the solution this holiday season by giving at least one gift that conserves, rather than consumes, rainforest habitat.
