Avoid the crowds. Buy a piece of rainforest for Christmas!
We can save you the trouble if you consider an alternative gift this year.
At SavingSpecies, we have a wonderful project in Colombia to save and restore vital habitat for amazing orchids and hummingbirds. Sooo, here’s the suggestion. Instead of yet another tie, CD, perfume, etc. buy your loved one, family member or colleague a piece of Colombian rainforest!
A gift of $80 will buy an acre of land that we’ll restore on your behalf, creating beautiful rainforest for countless unique and gorgeous orchids and hummingbirds. Even better, because the reforestation is a carbon sink, you are offsetting your carbon footprint. With the $80 land purchase your gift recipient will be carbon neutral for 10 years! Your donation made through our partner, the Environmental Media Association in Hollywood is fully tax-deductible so if you donate today you’ll get a tax benefit before the end of the year. (Click donate button below.)
Bear in mind that neither EMA nor SavingSpecies takes a cent in overhead. All donations go entirely to the purchase of land. Check out the project page for a satellite pic of the exact piece of land you are helping to buy.

SavingSpecies offers a unique way for you to help preserve biodiversity and to reduce your carbon footprint at the same time. We purchase degraded land in areas of the world's highest biodiversity. We then engage local communities to restore and protect the land. The trees we plant soak up carbon from the atmosphere. So when you help us buy land in high biodiversity areas you are reducing your carbon footprint and helping to preserve biodiversity! 
SavingSpecies was founded and is supported by the world's leading conservation biologists. We support our conservation decisions with the best scientific evidence. The science determines the highest priorities for preserving the world's biodiversity.
