“The flattening and crowding of the world is driving economic development, commerce, road building, natural resource extraction, overfishing, and urban sprawl at a pace that is devouring open lands, coral reefs, and tropical forests, disrupting ecosystems, despoiling rivers, and driving species extinctions across the planet at an unprecedented pace.”, according to Thomas L.

It is our goal to expand these donations, and with your help, we will. There are many worthwhile organizations that we wish to support in the future. Examples of these organizations are listed below: |
