THE FORGOTTEN RAINFORESTS VISION

                   Rainforests are greater than sum-of-their parts

                   Old forests are pivotal to climate stability globally –
                   climate summit, international year of forests

                   President Obama – protecting old forests = climate
        Corbis     change insurance

                   We must not let these forests become the forgotten
                    rainforests
