THANKS to everyone who endorsed REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in Developing countries). REDD figured prominently in the Copenhagen Accord in December 2009. In appreciation, and to further educate high school students about REDD, we have developed a REDD curriculum and produced a REDD fact sheet.

Sample Itineraries:

• C.L.A.N.S.: Trips to Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador

Teachers who lead an expedition will travel free. Students will learn about different cultures and tropical ecosystems, AND participate in conservation projects that will enhance their college resumes.

Save The Rainforest is a non profit organization governed by a teacher board of directors. We have coordinated trips for over 6,000 people since 1989 without incident. Your trip with us will be safe, fun, educational and truly inspirational. If you have never taken students overseas we will make it easy for you. If you are a veteran group leader we may have a program you want to try.
