Could saving the rainforest help solve climate change?
ACRES OF RAINFOREST SAVED

Your opportunity to repay the planet is now.
Each year, an estimated 18,700,000 acres of forest is lost to deforestation, which is equal to 27 soccer fields every minute.
Maintaining rainforest is the best and easiest climate change solution available today. The CO2 taken out of the air and biodiversity conserved justifies the investment in its protection.
What is Footprint For Life?
Footprint For Life is an initiative of the Yachana Foundation created to protect the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador. It allows any citizen of the world to sponsor blocks of 1000 square feet (100 sq. meters) with a donation of $25 USD.
Your life block of 1,000 square feet (100 sq. meters) of tropical rainforest will offset 2.5 tons of CO2.¹
2.7 tons per year
In Ecuador the average carbon footprint a person produces is 2.7 tons per year.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
16.5 tons per year
In the United States the average carbon footprint a person produces is 16.5 tons per year.
What’s your country’s
Carbon footprint?
Use the map to roll over your country to find what the average per person’s carbon footprint is in your country.
With that number, you can see how many blocks you need to support to offset your carbon footprint.
Each Footprint For Life block offsets 2.5 tons of carbon.
How Can You Make
A Difference?
When you purchase a life block of rainforest It is protected for life.
You decide how many plots you want to support. The plot will be in your name or a name of your choice for perpetuity and designated with GPS coordinates.
This project has a multiplier effect where the funds generated through the program will allow the trust to buy and protect additional rainforest. Investing in this program will give individuals and corporations the opportunity to promote their offset of CO2 and for them to know they are doing something positive to counteract the current rainforest crisis and protect the planet.
