Fundraising Extension! We Have Until May 5th! View Comments

Mar29

We have 6 days left before our initial 30 days of fund-raising is up. Thankfully the message of our efforts has been relayed down to the land holder in Puyo, Ecuador and he’s generously offered a time extension until May 5th! But, that comes with a small $3,000 penalty. Gah! We can do it though. We’re over 15% of goal of $73,000. We got this!

Over the weekend co-founder Shalaco Sching and I took all of the online/web suggestions we’ve received and built them out into a single page. That now stands as the “Home” page. The new blog which you’re reading now will be the place to get all of the up-to-the minute information about the 300 Acres project.

We’re enthusiastic about all of the opportunities coming up in the next 30 days. Stay tuned – follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Latest Stats:

Our Map of Trees (representing donors who have given $50 or more) has received over 53,000 views! (see below)

Donations come in from all over the world: England, Australia, Canada, and all over the U.S. from Washington to New York!

We’re raising more funds on Razoo than Paypal – which means we’ll incur few fees for transferring the money out.

The Amazon rainforest and its indigenous peoples are disappearing rapidly. This has serious consequences both locally and globally, for our environment and for the cultural diversity of our planet. I hope we can all support Flavio Santi in his courageous mission to save the ancestral lands of his people.

- Rebecca Moore, Manager of Google Earth Outreach

I met Flavio Santi, of Quichua Shuar heritage and a member of the Amazanga community, when he was a participant of a Tribal Geo Tech Workshop - focused on learning Google Earth to map his disappearing homeland in Ecuador. His aim was to get the word out. Many indigenous peoples identify with Flavio's predicament. Please help the Amazanga community save their homeland.

-Rosemarie McKeon, Board Member of the Indigenous Mapping Network
