#rainforest trust

The horned marsupial frog [Gastrotheca cornuta] is a threatened species found in Panama, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Colombia. They were only just recently discovered to still be living in Ecuador, with a few species found just outside the Cotacachi-Cayapas Ecological Reserve, in the Chocó rainforest. 

The Rainforest Trust is currently accepting donations to purchase strategic properties in the rainforest to preserve species such as the horned marsupial frog. You can find more information here. 

**Edited to include additional readers who will be joining me in this fundraising effort! Please reblog this version when you see it!**

We all know the devastation that the Amazon fires are causing. From ecological to social destruction. You can read more about this tragedy here: x x x 

It’s time to put our money and effort where our reblogging fingers are. 

In an effort to do what I can to aid those affected, I'm going to be running a fundraiser! Starting today, and running at least until Friday, September 6th, I'll be offering tarot readings by donation, featuring #thebottanicaldeck by Jessica Bott, @thecrackedamethyst. This deck is all about the beauty and bounty of plants and how they can heal us. We need to  help nature heal now too. We need to aid the indigenous people who are fighting for their lives and their land.

50% of the total proceeds will go straight to either The Rainforest Trust or Amazon Watch, and hopefully we'll raise enough to be able to donate to both organizations. The suggested donation for this event is between $5-$10 per card. I have all of my tarot reading guidelines listed here. 

Help me reach a goal of donating at least $100! Which should be doable, so lets smash this and show people that the pagan community doesn’t just talk the talk of caring for our planet and fellow humans!

✨ If you’d like to request a reading, please use the form on the home page of my site, or email me at [email protected], not through tumblr! That way I can keep better track of our donations and goals!

✨If you’d like to donate, but don’t want a reading, that’s fantastic! Thank you so much for your generous spirit! You can send your donation directly to an organization that you like and send me a screenshot and I’ll include your donation in the totals at the end, or you can send a donation through paypal and 100% of that will go toward the total donation!

Follow me on instagram, twitter, and sign up for updates on the homepage of my site therestlesswitch.com!

GROW, A RAINFOREST CHARITY ARTZINE

So, with the emergency of the Amazon burning, Sean made it so that way we could technically do two charities this month - one for the Best Friends Animal fund and the other for the Rainforest Trust fund.

Personally, I donated to both. But that’s beside the point.

By donating to the Rainforest Trust fund, we help out all rainforests around the world, but especially the Amazon Rainforest right now.

But you wanna know what else?

We’re already helping the rainforest right now. How, you might ask? Remember last month’s charity? The Environmental Defense Fund? They’re already out there helping with the Amazon. We’re already seeing our donations at work! In less than a month from when we gave to help the world, we’re already seeing it in play!

I know that a lot of times we don’t get to hear a lot about where our stuff is going except for during the streams that are held every month - Red Nose Day, Make-A-Wish, St. Jude’s Children, AbleGamers, Charity Water, etc. - unless the charity is done again and we learn what what charity did in the last year.

But this time... it’s different... This time we’re seeing our donations put to work. Honestly, I’m proud of us. I’m proud that that we can help out twice in this dire time of need to not only protect the rainforests, but to save the world.

We’re doing good, fam. Keep up the awesome work!

I am including links to BOTH charities below so that way if you want to revisit the EDF, you can. You can also donate to the Rainforest Trust as well, along with seeing what both organizations are doing right now.

Environmental Defense Fund

Rainforest Trust

Earth’s lungs have been ravaged through the recklessness of a greedy and cruel government. The lack of mainstream media coverage throughout all this is disgusting. 

It is disheartening, to say the least, to watch these atrocities on our planet and feel helpless to do anything about it. 

In these times, it is important to look for the ones who are helping. 

This is Mitesh, the Himalayan musk deer. Mitesh and his fanged deer friends need a protected home... and we're making it happen! Together, we've already saved 1900 acres of endangered forest and we only need 100 more registrations to put him on our map!

You did it, gishers! Purna the pangolin is saved forever (along with a whopping 4,255 acres ...and all the beautiful endangered residents therein)! 

Next up: Let's rescue Bibek the Asiatic Black Bear!
