10,000 Acre Challenge

By spreading the word, you can help protect 10,000 acres of tropical forest and slow the devastating effects of climate change. I’m asking you - one of our dedicated partners in the fight against climate change - to help us grow our ranks and stop the burning and clearing of Earth’s disappearing forests.
During CI’s 10,000 Acre Challenge, CI’s Chairman’s Council members have pledged to sponsor the protection of up to 10,000 acres of precious forest. Once you spread the word, an acre will not only be protected in your honor, but also on behalf of each friend and family member who signs our pledge.
People need nature to thrive, and each one of us has a critical role in solving the global crisis of climate change.
Today you have a real opportunity to personally protect life-sustaining forests. By urging your friends and family members to sign the Protect an Acre Pledge, you will bring us one step closer to our 10,000 acre goal. And if we meet the challenge, CI’s Chairman’s Council will save 10,000 acres of forest from destruction.
Protecting forests is vital because they provide the fresh air that we breathe and the clean water we drink. Forests are the earth’s lungs - safely storing away harmful CO2 in their lush soils, roots and stems.
By spreading the word to at least three friends, you are also taking the Protect an Acre pledge and adding your voice of support to help urge government leaders to incorporate forest protection into policies on climate change - for the good of our climate, all people, endangered species, and our planet. We’ll present the names of all pledge signers at the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Summit.
If we reach our goal, 10,000 acres of forest will be protected. That’s equivalent to removing 400,000 cars from the road.
To succeed, we all must work together. We must take care of nature so that nature can take care of us.
Thank you,
