9.4.2009 Forest Conservation: 2,000 Years and Counting A new study published in the July issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science reveals that the Maya practiced, and reaped the benefits of, responsible forestry. In fact, researchers found that abandoning responsible forest management practices was to the detriment of the entire culture -- and may have led to its downfall. In light of this eye-opening report, we spoke with Guatemala-based Rainforest Alliance TREES coordinator Omar Samayoa. 8.14.2009 In Memory of Les Paul: The Man Behind the Legendary Guitar Yesterday, Les Paul, the man who made much of modern music possible, passed away at the age of 94. While we applaud him for revolutionizing the music industry, the Rainforest Alliance honors his memory for an additional reason: he was a codesigner of -- and the inspiration for -- the Les Paul SmartWood Standard. 7.6.2009 The Rainforest Alliance Celebrates World Recycling Day It's one of the easiest ways to help our planet -- reducing air and water pollution, saving energy, conserving natural resources and creating jobs -- but the majority of people in the United States still don't recycle regularly. That's why on July 8th, World Recycling Day, legions of environmentalists will work to raise awareness of recycling's importance. Join the celebration! 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. 8.22.2008 Tackling New Challenges in the Birthplace of Coffee -- Part II Alex Morgan, business development manager for the Rainforest Alliance's sustainable agriculture program, continues to recount the details of his recent trip to Ethiopia, where we are working with coffee farmers to conserve the nation's few remaining native forests.
