In memory of Bob Small; Save the monarch butterfly

Well everything seems to be running smoothly so in continuing with our purpose:

New Action

From The Rainforest Site:

The Rainforest Site would like to pay tribute to the memory of Bob Small who passed away late last year. Bob was a longtime conservationist and the founder of Michoacan Restoration Fund that seeks to reforest the winter home of the majestic monarch butterfly.

Bob founded the Fund in 1997 after a trip to Mexico where he met Jose Luis Alvarez, a local nurseryman who was also concerned about the plight of the majestic monarch. From this meeting, the nonprofit Michoacan Reforestation Fund was born.

Their concept for recovery promotes sustainable forestry and reduces tree cutting within the nearby monarch butterfly overwintering sanctuaries. Over the past 30 years, there has been 60% degradation of the forest canopy in the monarch's overwintering areas. Before Bob's death, his tireless work was marked with the planting of over 1.5 million trees towards the restoration of this natural habitat.

In honor of Bob's inspiring vision and passion, The Rainforest Site has planted 1,000 trees in the conservation area. We encourage you can make your own gift of 25 or 50 trees to further this vital project. Please click here to learn how you can plant trees to help make Bob's dream for the monarch a reality.
