What the project does.

Protecting the biodiversity of Peru and storing millions of tonnes of carbon.

In south central Peru’s Andes mountain range, the pristine and beautiful Toldopampa Cloud Forest is easily distinguished by the cloud cover that envelops the lush green treetops.

The steep slopes used to keep this forest remote and largely untouched, but now we need your help to save it as modern technology and improved transportation infrastructure have given easier access to those who wish to exploit the landscape for short-term monetary gain. Unchecked deforestation has levelled swaths of trees for unsustainable cattle grazing and the area’s potential for mining is quickly attracting developers.
