How to help:

  • Good wood.  Tropical hardwoods such as teak and mahogany are grown in rainforests and take hundreds of years to grow. So avoid any products made with these woods.  It is better have products made with pine, beech, ash or oak.  These trees don’t come from the rainforest and can be more easily replaced as they grow a lot faster.

  • Flowers.  Orchids are popular in florists, but many come from the rainforest.  They import millions of flowers every year and despite checks some orchids may have been taken from the wild.  Check that any orchids have been grown in the EU before buying.

  • Protected Pet?  Some parrots and macaws are unfortunately still being imported into the country to be sold as pets. If you want a parrot as a pet, make sure it hasn’t been hatched in the rainforests.

  • Save trees  Save trees by recycling your own paper.  Paper with a clean side can be made into notepads. They are great for notes.  If you are buying paper, buy recycled paper, whether it is writing paper or toilet paper!

Remenber!

Some steps for saving rainforests and ecosystems around the world can be abbreviated as TREES:

  • Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help save rainforests.

  • Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.

  • Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't hurt the environment.

  • Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.

  • Support companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.
