If we continue to allow the Amazon Rainforest to be depleted we will further stimulate or promote the potential impacts of Global Climate Change.  The potential impact of Global Climate Change includes:
1. Increased frequency of more powerful tropical storms or hurricanes being generated;
2. Increased frequency of flooding within the U.S. Mid-West corridor;
3. Increased frequency of potential high precipitation conditions within Southeast U.S.;
4. Increased frequency of tornados in the central states and in other parts of the country;
5. Increased frequency of the proliferation of certain infectious diseases or parasite; proliferation due to the shorten winter or cold weather cycle; and
6. Increased frequency of wild fires in the western states.
All of these above scenarios may continue to proliferate if we can not find a way to protect ecosystems such as the Amazon Rainforest in addition to reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions.

Welcome to our web site!
The amount of carbon released into the atmosphere by clearing and burning of tropical forests accounts for the world's second largest source of human-driven greenhouse gas emissions. The importance of preventing the destruction of tropical rainforest's like the Amazon has therefore acquired a new level of importance.

The Amazon Rainforest represents the largest terrestrial basin of flora that coverts CO2 (Major Greenhouse Gas) into O2. If we continue to allow the Amazon Rainforest to be depleted we will further stimulate or promote the potential impacts of Global Climate Change. 

A new kind of environmental movement

Of course, Climate Change is too big a problem for a handful of people to solve on their own. It's a global problem that requires action on a global scale.

But people such as you are leading the charge to fight against Climate Change. City and state governments, forward-looking businesses, and enthusiastic citizens are banding together to show that a sustainable future is possible today. Now you can also champion this cause, every time you give to fund the replanting of trees in the "world's lung".

Every Amazon Reforestation Project member has taken a simple positive step to fight Global Climate Change. Every Green Zone purchase is a vote for innovation, efficiency, and clean energy. Together, we can make a positive impact on the planet everyone can be proud of.  Be part of a effort that is driving change today.

The Amazon Reforestation Project is led by world renowned environmentalist and former spokesperson for Jacques Cousteau, Dr. Francisco Ritta Bernardino (President and Chairman of Amazon Reforestation Project Inc.)

Cousteau's declarations during those early days sounded like a premonition: "Today the world is concerned about nuclear war, but this threat will disappear. The war of the future will be between those who defend nature and those who destroy it. The Amazon will be in the eye of the hurricane. Scientists, politicians, and artists will land here to see what is being done to the forest".
