What Rainforest?

Your openess for feedback is amazing! And how quickly you respond and do something about it. I hope many people get in touch and want to get involved in this urgent matter. There has been some negative critics of what your work, which of course can be constructive, but I will take the opportunity also to say what a great work you have done!! The world need more people like you. And I hope this initiative will lead to some positive actions with support of the marvellous rainforest which we just can’t afford to let being more destroyed, for the sake of all living creatures.

Let me start again… i typed in a comment and my two year old hit the keyboard and i thought the half written comment went through but i see now that it didn’t…. whoops!

What i was trying to say was… I think your blog is a fantastic initiative! The only improvement might be more photos (pictures say a thousand words) and some commentary perhaps – what do you guys think of some of the posts?

Also, I am from Australia and I have started my own fight to save the rainforests and orangutans. I have a blog – orangaction.blogspot.com – where I encourage people to write emails too.
Thanks!

It would be great if you can print ‘What Rainforest?’ and ‘Wake Up and smell the Oil Palm’ T-shirts for sale. It would definitely get the message across to a much wider audience.

idea: maps that show the changes of indigenous ownership of the forest or which shows the changing tree populations. if you have this, i can help spread the word by spreading the news of your work to our indigenous readers.
