Now, people have a unique option to contribute to their favorite charity by donating gold, property, and jewelry. Please take a moment to take advantage of this fantastic new giving opportunity that will generate critically needed funding to protect forests, natural ecosystems, and indigenous peoples in the Amazon. Your donation of gold jewelry today will help build a more just and equitable planet.
