Learn About Environment

Environmental issues are a major concern worldwide, with climate change being one of the most pressing issues. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global temperatures have already risen by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times, and we are currently on track for a 3°C temperature rise by the end of the century. This will lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves, floods, droughts, and wildfires, resulting in severe economic and social impacts. In addition to climate change, other environmental issues include air and water pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and plastic pollution. It is estimated that 9 million people die each year due to pollution-related causes, and up to 12 million hectares of forest are lost annually. These issues require urgent action from individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide to mitigate their impact and preserve the planet for future generations.

Appalachian Mountain Club

Founded in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club promotes the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of America’s Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. We believe these resources have intrinsic worth and also provide recreational opportunities, spiritual renewal, and ecological and economic health for the region. Because successful conservation depends on active engagement with the outdoors, we encourage people to experience, learn about, and appreciate the natural world.

Kids Saving the Rainforest

Our mission is to protect the diverse wildlife of flora and fauna in Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast with our conservation projects which include KSTR’s wildlife rescue center where we rescue, rehabilitate and release injured, sick and orphaned animals back to the wild. Animals that can never be released because they were either raised in captivity as illegal pets and became reliant on humans for food or permanently injured or disabled are cared for in KSTR’s wildlife sanctuary. KSTR also works to minimize the causes of why animals need to be rescued with their education program, reforestation project and wildlife bridges project. We implement these projects to protect the wildlife in the community by mitigating the major threats of wildlife in the region.
