Write a Letter,
Save the Rainforest.

#1MillionLetters #ForNature

You're one in a million, and so is your opinion! Our 1 Million Letters #ForNature campaign makes it possible for you to save the rainforest simply by writing a letter, regardless of your ability to raise or donate money.

Here's how it works:

1. Write a letter below about why you love nature, and why we should protect our last wild places. (Drawings are great, too! Please send an image of your letter in an email or by mail, if you'd rather draw and write by hand).
2. We'll match your letter with $3 toward Reserva's youth-funded reserve projects. Our Conservation Match Fund is supported by donors who believe in youth empowerment for the environment.
3. Then, we're planning to bring all the letters we receive to as many international conventions as possible so world leaders hear what you have to say!

• For our current project, that means your letter protects an area of Ecuadorian Tropical Andes cloud forest about the size of a large classroom!
• You can also send your letter by mail to P.O. Box 57277, Washington, D.C. 20037 or email a photo of your letter to letters@reservaylt.org. For letters from minors, please include a Parent/Guardian consent form.
• In the future, we hope to make these letters publicly searchable by country on a map so they can have the greatest reach and impact!
• For your privacy, please do not include any identifying information other than what is requested below.

   *Conservation Match Generated:

* Reserva’s Conservation Matching Fund is constantly growing to meet our promised $3/letter match. This fund is supported by donors who believe in youth empowerment in conservation. Our fundraising has so far kept pace with the letters we have received. In the event that a sudden uptick in the volume of letters we receive outpaces available matching funds, Reserva will pause the letter submission form until we are able to honor our promise to you. Thank you for raising your voice #ForNature!
