The Interfaith Appeal for Action on Tropical Forests and Global Warming
Tropical deforestation causes about 20 percent of the world's global warming pollution. With tropical forests disappearing at the rate of 1 acre per second, it is crucial that we join together and appeal for the United States to take action to protect these vital resources. Protecting the forests not only helps to stop global warming but also improves the lives of many impoverished people in developing countries and protects the many other species that depend on those forests for survival.
The Interfaith Appeal for Action on Tropical Forests and Global Warming is a letter that religious leaders across the United States signed to demonstrate that people of faith care about protecting the integrity of our tropical forests so that the people and diverse species that rely on the forests, may not only survive but thrive.
