| Dear Friend,
This time of day is noisy.
Bird chatter echoes through the forest canopy. Striped frogs croak persistently beneath a cluster of fig trees.
High on one branch, a lone purple fruit dangles; then a hand reaches out and snatches it up. Chewing noisily, an orangutan calls out as she reaches for a neighboring branch and pulls in another handful of figs.
It’s early morning in Borneo – where forests like this one are at risk of rapid destruction.
Become a CI Evergreen Partner and help protect tropical forests like those in Borneo. It costs just $15 to protect one acre. That means for 50 cents a day, you can protect an acre of forest each and every month. Like many tropical areas, deforestation is a looming threat here. Across the globe, forests like this one are being cleared for commercial uses – from logging to rubber production to agriculture.
But you have the power to help protect tropical forests from destruction – one acre at a time.
Join CI’s Evergreen Partners and help protect an acre of tropical forest every month for just 50 cents a day.
In addition to providing vital habitat for millions of plants and animals, tropical forests also provide fresh air, clean water, and traditional remedies to millions of local people.
And that’s not all. Protecting tropical forests slows the production of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. In fact, protecting just one acre of tropical forests is equal to taking 40 vehicles off the road for an entire year.
Will you help protect these majestic places? 
Together, we have the power to protect tropical forests, like the ones in Borneo. Let’s do it.
Sincerely,
Beth Wallace
VP, Marketing Communications and Membership
