Billions of acres of forest and other crucial ecosystems are at risk.

 

The Million Acre Pledge (MAP) allows individuals, businesses, and foundations to commit to finance efforts to conserve or restore large areas of forest and other bio-rich natural areas to:

  • Save irreplaceable ecosystems, biodiversity, wildlife, and indigenous people and cultures

  • Stop CO2 emissions on ecosystem loss and enable CO2 absorption by recovering ecosystems

  • Encourage and inspire others to conserve forest and other ecosystems

Just one thousand pledgers could protect one billion acres.
