Supporting today's Prince's Rainforests Project campaign


With an introduction by Sting, the Prince's Rainforests Project today launched their latest campaign in the run-up to December's COP15 meeting in Copenhagen.

Their campaign message is:

I [insert name] am sending my Rainforest SOS to the world.”

And the supporting explanation: “On behalf of the rainforests, we want to send the world’s biggest SOS to world leaders before the forthcoming global climate change negotiations in Copenhagen. Only if we take action to stop tropical rainforest destruction can we tackle climate change before it is too late.”

Personally, I think there could hardly be a more important campaign!

On a related note, we explored how a carbon offset scheme might be set-up to support saving the tropical rainforests in a press release of August 3, 2009.
