    WWF Sponsor An Acre With Sky

Adopt an acre and you can help save 1 billion trees with WWF’s Sponsor an Acre programme. What's even better is that your donation will be matched by Sky, together they hope to reach a campaign target of over £4 million.

The Amazon region needs our help. The region is the lifeblood of thousands of species and supports over 30 million people. The devastating situation, however, is that every minute an area the size of 3 football pitches is being destroyed. With your regular donation together with Sky’s Rainforest Rescue matched funding can help to halt this worrying trend.

About Sky Rainforest Rescue

Sky and WWF have joined together with the goal of saving one billion trees in the Amazon rainforest. With your help adopting an acre they want to protect around 3 million hectares from deforestation - that's about the size of Belgium!

Why should we save the rainforest?

You will have heard of climate change, well here is a very important fact from WWF :

"Deforestation creates up to a fifth of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions - that’s as much as all the world’s cars, planes, trains and ships put together. In Acre alone, deforestation between 1996 and 2005 generated around 22 million tonnes of CO2 emissions each year."

Despite this fact the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is continuing at an alarming pace. It's difficult to understand the reality that every minute an area the size of three football pitches is destroyed but it is true and has caused about 20% of the Amazon rainforest to be lost already to deforestation.

For just £3.00 a month you can help WWF and Sky save 1 billion trees and protect our planet!
