What is DeforestACTION about... Idea to reality... The project so far...

Deforestation

How it all began... Teachers and students from across APAC were given the opportunity to present their ideas about what collaborative project they could work on to tackle deforestation. Students presented their ideas online and were given one week to vote on the two most popular solutions. The winning solutions were: 1.Buying back trees in endangered forests to protect them 2.Raising awareness for how palm oil production (and products that contain palm oil) contribute to global warming, habitat loss, destruction of species and other global problems. Both solutions were combined to create the DeforestAction global project. Deforestaction is designed to raise awareness about the destruction of important native forests, and the commercial exploitation of these forests for the production of palm oil. Young people across the planet are seeking support to reclaim at-risk forests and preserve them for future generations, and the future of the planet.
