-- First, the Amazon is the largest forest, richest ecosystem in the world. More plant and animal species exist here than in the rest of the world combined.
-- Second, we take air for granted, yet most of the oxygen in your lungs at this moment came from the Amazon. If we lose the Amazon we've lost our air supply.
-- Third, the Amazon is our largest gene pool. Most of our fruits and vegetables originated there and are cross pollinated to create heartier disease resistant strands for our crops, increasing our food production world wide.
-- Fourth, the Amazon is the source for most of our medicines yet less than 1% of the plants there have been studied, new plants are discovered daily along with new remedies and cures.
-- So most of the food in your refrigerator, medicines in your cabinet, and air in your lungs are from the Amazon. In fact, the Amazon is not far away, it is part of us. It is crucial for us to save the Amazon thus saving ourselves. we have the ability and resources, all we need is the desire and opportunity.
AIRR can purchase land on your behalf and protect it with forest rangers for a mere thirty five dollars per acre. If everyone in America would save just five acres, the entire Amazon would be protected forever and we could all breathe a lot easier.
Thank you friend and hero. You are part of a living legacy.
