It's wonderful that Forest Trends has partnered with the Ethical Gold Institute to discourage gold mining in the Amazon and relieve pressure on the local and indigenous communities on the front lines of those conflicts. 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.
