Discovering the Canopy - Colombia 2019

About this campaign

The canopy of the rainforest is an unexplored world bursting with biodiversity found nowhere else. But few scientists know how to climb to the top of the rainforest - so how do we study and conserve what we can't see or know? We are hosting 20 scientists from all across Latin America at a climber training where they will learn special canopy access methods. We are even donating complete climbing kits - each worth over $2,000 - to the top graduates of the course, so they can continue their work.



We need your help to raise the final dollars to pay for their food and lodging, and a few more pieces of climbing equipment. You can send a biologist to climbing school by doing any or all of these three things: 1) buy a tree-shirt (or several!); 2) make a donation (any size helps!); 3) share this link with your friends. Your support goes straight to teaching local people the skills they need to change their careers, their lives, and to have the tools they need to save forest biodiversity.
