Save the Brazilian Amazon

Vivek Reddy Karri is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Rainforest Trust.

Tax deductible

Hi,

This fundraiser is our small way of honoring the only place known to harbor complex life - Earth, as we begin our journey together in marriage.

We invite you to join us in donating to the Brazilian Amazon fund by Rainforest Trust (To Know More). This fund aims to permanently safeguard 20 million acres of intact forest, protect Indigenous territories, and lock up 6 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalents—more than the U.S.'s annual emissions. RainForest trust works with local communities and governments to create protected areas. Protected Areas?

Note: Please use this fundraiser to donate directly to the Brazilian Amazon Fund (DONATE DIRECTLY). GoFundMe transfers to overall trust and not to a specific fund.

Within the Brazilian Amazon, 141 million acres of government-controlled land remain undesignated—an irreplaceable refuge for countless unique species found nowhere else on Earth. These acres could be preserved forever as protected national parks or safeguarded as Indigenous reserves. Alternatively, they risk being chain-sawed and burned, accelerating deforestation and pushing the Amazon closer to its catastrophic tipping point. (What is a climate tipping point)
