Today an area the size of three football pitches is destroyed every minute. Sky Rainforest Rescue is based in the state of Acre in western Brazil where we are pioneering a new initiative by working with local communities – including rubber tappers and farmers – to help make it more profitable to keep trees standing than to clear forest.
