The biological diversity of Chile’s forests has met with destruction mostly to make way for industrial tree farms. Chile now has some of the world’s most endangered native forests. You can help change this.
The Gift
Some of Chile's endangered forests are so remote they are said to be "at the end of the Earth," but they are not far enough away to escape industrial destruction, including the world's oldest surviving tree species, araucaria araucana, (a type of "monkey puzzle" tree) that shelters the world's most endangered fox species, speudalopex fulvipes, ("Darwin's fox"). You can help by giving just $50 to plant a new araucaria araucana seedling in a location where the Darwin't fox desperately needs more forest cover.
