*[Enwl-eng] Let’s buy a tropical forest

[ENWL]

                        Logging has all but destroyed the home of the world’s 
last 7000 cotton-top tamarin monkeys. But if 5000 of us chip in in the next 
24 hours, we can literally buy the Colombian forest where they live, 
permanently protect it, and give our little primate cousin a chance to 
thrive.

                        Let’s buy a forest -- can you help?

            How cool is this -- this week we can buy 110-acres of threatened 
Colombian tropical forest and give a fighting chance to critically 
endangered turtles and monkeys!

            Thanks to the rampant destruction of their forest home, there’s 
less than 7000 of the charismatic cotton-top tamarins left in the wild --  
and deforestation is picking up speed.

            But our partner Rainforest Trust is on the cusp of purchasing 
and protecting -- forever! -- a critical piece of land that will give these 
monkeys the space they need to recover and thrive.

            If 5000 of us chip in the cost of a cup of coffee in the next 24 
hours, Rainforest Trust can secure the land immediately, and get started on 
their work protecting the forest. Can you help save these cotton-top 
tamarins?

            The northern tropical forests of Colombia are deeply endangered 
due to farm expansion and other development. Cotton-top Tamarins are among 
the most impacted species -- this is the only place on the planet they are 
found, and they’ve seen a population decline of 80% in just two decades.

            It isn’t only the cotton-tops (although they are very cute). The 
area is home to spider and howler monkeys, scarlet macaws...and a critically 
endangered turtle species (the Dahl’s Toad-headed Turtle). If we can buy 
this land it would become one of the only protected areas in the world where 
the turtle lives.

            A local organization called Fundación Proyecto Tití is working 
on protecting the whole area. They already blocked the creation of a 
clear-cutting cattle ranch, and now they’re working with Rainforest Trust to 
secure even more land. Vladimir, this land that we can buy today is small, 
but it’s critical to the whole project -- it will give all these species 
safe passage between protected areas.

            It’s not often you get the chance to buy a piece of tropical 
forest. Will you be one of the 5000 donors we need to buy this land in the 
next 24 hours? Every extra penny we raise will be used to protect wild 
places like this from corporations bent on their destruction.
