10.15.2009 Stop Deforestation -- Stop Climate Change! Shrinking arctic ice. Increased tropical cyclone activity. Severe droughts. Scientists say we’re already beginning to experience the effects of climate change -- but it’s not too late to change the course. For more than 20 years, the Rainforest Alliance has been working to curb deforestation, responsible for 20 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the emissions from trains, planes and automobiles combined. 10.30.2008 Helping Teachers in Guatemala Bring Conservation Awareness Into Their Classrooms Last February, the Rainforest Alliance’s education team traveled to Guatemala to host a series of teacher training workshops. While most of the Rainforest Alliance’s education activities are geared toward teachers and students in the United States, these workshops were intended to bring local conservation lessons into the classroom. 8.1.2008 Taking Lessons from the Canopy to the Classroom In mid-July, Maria Ghiso, education outreach coordinator for the Rainforest Alliance, and Manju Misra, lead science teacher at New Jersey's Quitman Street Community School, traveled to El Salvador where they toured the majestic El Imposible National Park. Since many of the students they meet in the US will never have the opportunity to see a rainforest firsthand, the two are working to turn their experiences into a compelling curriculum that brings the magic of the rainforest back to the classroom. El Imposible National Park is the focus of the Rainforest Alliance's fifth and sixth grade educational materials. Ghiso writes... 4.9.2008 Urban Students Get Up Close and Personal with Rainforest Animals In March of 2008, the Rainforest Alliance joined forces with the Sea World and Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, a wildlife species and habitat conservation and education organization, to give a group of students a face-to-face encounter with some amazing rainforest dwellers. Here, Maria Ghiso, outreach coordinator for the Rainforest Alliance's education team, recounts the experience. 10.9.2007 Scrapbooks To wrap up the school year, the Rainforest Alliance education team and students from three of our partner schools in Newark, NJ had a unique opportunity to personally connect with students in Latin America through a scrapbook exchange.
