Change the world. Piece by piece

Protecting the rainforest -
that's the goal of ourpiece.

Rainforests continue to be exposed to massive threats worldwide, and the amount of rainforest left is constantly shrinking. ourpiece takes a direct approach to protecting the rainforest. We bought patches of rainforest, established partnerships with local partners, and protected these patches of forest from fire clearing and deforestation.

Over the long run we can only maintain this commitment
with the help of people who share the same goals as we do. Therefore we thank all participants who took part in ourpiece, bought their own piece of virtual rainforest and joined us in ensuring that the rainforest stays protected.

Protected forest and cleared spaces

A look from above clearly shows the difference between forested and neighboring cleared spaces. Nearly 1,900 different bird species, such as toucans, many different parrots, cranes, and hummingbird species live in the rainforest that we protect. Sea turtles use the remote beaches as a breeding place.
