Area of Activity:

The association, whose activities are non-political and not profit-oriented, aims to save the last remaining unprotected lowland rainforest on the Pacific coast of Central America and to restore lost forest areas through reforestation. The necessary material resources are raised through donation campaigns. The association’s purpose is supported by fundraising activities in Austria. The guideline (“editorial policy”) of the website is to promote and describe the association’s activities and to present the Rainforest of the Austrians through photos, audio recordings and videos.
