Why Now?

World Resources Institute
If this trend continues there will likely be no primary rainforest left by 2050. This will be mean our planet will lose a vital source of oxygen negatively affecting all species on earth.

Testimonials.
Having worked with Chris Minty MBE and the Secure Forests team whilst on exercise in the jungles of Belize over many years, I know how dedicated they are to the conservation of tropical forests.
As a Special Forces soldier I have worked extensively in some of the most extreme environments in the world and I have come to appreciate how important tropical forests are to endangered wildlife.
The professionalism, dedication and passion that the Secure Forests team demonstrate is making a real difference to these important habitats and I fully endorse their work.
