Best wishes this festive season and a cool 2008

Climate change has to be the most serious issue facing the planet today and we have heard much in the media in 2007 about how global warming may melt the polar ice-caps and raise sea levels - but what about the rising temperatures in our rainforests?

In 2008 the Australian Rainforest Foundation will continue to do everything we can to protect and rehabilitate Australia’s rainforests and its inhabitants while at the same time encouraging conversation and action regarding the overall environmental health of the planet.
Our rainforests are a global treasure, recognised around the world for their beauty and biodiversity but they are often forgotten for their natural ability to effectively cool the planet as they absorb and store carbon. Regardless of this, they are still under threat – and we must act to save them now. In 2008 we will be calling on you to do just that, as we continue to roll out our global awareness and fundraising initiatives.

Of course we must thank our members, supporters, sponsors and friends who have already joined us and allowed us to achieve our goals over the last ten years but we look forward to extensively extending this global network in the coming year.

Wherever you are on our planet this holiday season, safe travels and best wishes from us all at the ARF.
