What can you do to help protect the rainforest? What can I do to protect the rainforest? How can I protect the rainforest?

There are many ways to protect the rainforest. For example, you can donate to us to protect a specific piece of rainforest forever. Or you can support our work to protect the rainforest in other ways. You can find possibilities under "Get active".

In everyday life, you can do a few things to avoid harming the rainforest. For example, you can pay attention to where the products you buy in the supermarket come from. The main cause of rainforest loss is agriculture and livestock, and most of the products are not consumed locally, but shipped to other continents. This means that if you make sure to consume local and seasonal foods and eat less meat, you can prevent deforestation in the rainforest. If you're looking for an exotic product, look for FairTrade and organic labels. When buying wood, you should also pay attention to where the trees come from. It's best to see if you can get a used item in your family or at the second-hand market. If you must buy new, look for the "Der Blaue Engel" seal for recycled products and buy locally sourced wood whenever possible. It is also important to buy durable furniture or products that will last a lifetime and may even be inherited.
