Support our latest fundraiser:

The Brazil Project 🌳

This Tree Week from November 26 to December 4, you can have the chance to be part of our new project in restoring and protecting the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil.

The Atlantic Forest plays a large role in combating climate change - it acts as a storage for much of the greenhouse gas we emit, and it is one of the biggest natural carbon sinks on this planet.

Why your support matters:

100% of your donation goes directly to our project in Brazil.  This is a proud collaboration between the LEAF Charity and Universidade Federal do Reconcavo da Bahia (UFRB). We aim to raise £3000 to support further carbon reduction, protection of threatened species in the Atlantic Forest, and environmental education of youth and the local community in Brazil.

You can follow us on Instagram @wearetheleaf to find out exciting content about the project and keep up to date. Don't forget to share your donation using #TreeWeekwithLEAF #SavetheAtlanticForest
