Why I love this solution: I love this solution because they integrate technology with conservation. In the ARBIO web you can adopt an amazon big tree or a rainforest hectare and they care of it for you, you receive a certificate in your email and a regular newsletter with the improvements of the project. Once you are a sponsor of the forest, ARBIO invite you to go to the forest and know what you already protect.

  • A couple decades ago my wife had a tree planted for me in the woods surrounding Walden Pond. I can't afford to travel much and I know it's just one tree but the cumulative effect of the campaign helped to enlarge the preserve around Thoreau's cabin site. It's always been one of my favorite Father's day gifts

  • I like animals and biodiversity so I think we can help by making the forms on the page www.arbioperu.com and thus protect a part of the forest.
