Alumet have sponsored 5,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest. The sponsorship will enable the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) to protect 5,000 trees from illegal logging.
This vital support will help to protect millions of unique and wonderful animals that live in the Amazon, including howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, harpy eagles and giant otters. Many species are particularly rare and threatened, like the jaguar, three-toed sloth, manatee, yellow-spotted sideneck turtle, pink river dolphin and black caiman (a river alligator).
The forest is also a vital source of food, shelter and livelihoods for almost all the 30 million people who live in the region.
