"If deforestation can be stopped in its tracks, then we will be able to buy ourselves some much-needed time to build the low carbon economies on which our futures depend. I have endeavored to create a global public, private and NGO partnership to discover an innovative means of halting tropical deforestation. Sucess would literally transform the situation for our children and grandchildren and for every species on the planet."-HRH The Prince of Wales
ACEER and the Princes Rainforest Project are sharing resources and information so that teachers around the globe have access to a wealth of information about Rainforests.
The Prince's Rainforest Project's work is focused on two very specific aims. The first is to raise awareness of the damaging effects of deforestation for everyone. The second is to identify appropriate incentives that will encourage rainforest nations to stop burning down vast areas of valuable forests.
