Nowadays, people are understanding the need to solve the climate and biodiversity problem. Poor ecosystems, forest fires, Covid-19 and more extreme weather events are showing us that the destruction of the natural world is greatly impacting on the planet.     1     , it is time to take action.

Rainforest Concern     2     (establish) in 1993 aims to protect endangered natural habitats, the biodiversity they contain, and the people who depend on them for their     3     (survive). For over 20 years, Rainforest Concern     4     (protect) threatened cloud forests in north-west Ecuador, within the global biodiversity hot spot,     5     contains one-sixth of all plant life on the planet.

One of the most immediate threats to the bio-region is heavy industry, resulting in polluted rivers and the     6     (disappear) of hectares of forest, massively impacting on regional climatic conditions and     7     (potential) putting even more species on Red List.

To protect the cloud forests from threats, Rainforest Concern supports community reserves and has created a private reserve,     8     (focus) on forming ecological passages to connect existing protected areas. These measures are all helping to protect the weak cloud forest ecosystem from     9     (damage) and stop the reduction of its wildlife. But it takes money     10     (keep) going, and with more human pressures on the region, threats are increasing, and the forests and our planet are running out of time.
