Great News! We have identified and spoken to several individuals who have necessary skills to be a Rainforest Guardian. Initially we plan to have one part-time Rainforest Guardian to monitor the forest lands protected by Rainforest Protectors Trust. The funds raised so far will enable us to support the chosen person initially for a few months. However, the cost of funding a part-time Rainforest Guardian is approximately $75 per month and as of today we have only a $5 recurring donation for this cause. Therefore, we urge our donors to consider setting up a recurring monthly donation for us to reach the above minimum goal to ensure we have enough funds to support the Rainforest Guardians.
The "Rainforest Guardians" will play a vital role in the future conservation of Sinharaja World Heritage Rainforest. We give priority to villagers with knowledge and skills required for this role to ensure the community benefits from our conservation efforts and that they value the rainforest as is instead of chopping it down.
