Why a tribute to the rainforest
Tribute and memorial gifts let you turn a life event into a lasting act of conservation. Where flowers fade, an intact tropical forest endures — and your gift in someone’s name helps protect 3,600 hectares of biodiversity hotspot, habitat for jaguars, pumas, harlequin toads, and 420+ bird species.
Tribute gifts are commonly given for:
- In memory of a loved one — in lieu of flowers, as a memorial donation
- In honor of a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or graduation
- To celebrate a wedding, new baby, or milestone
- To recognize a teacher, mentor, parent, or friend
- For the holidays — a meaningful gift for someone who values conservation

How fast is the notification sent?
Email notifications go out within 24 hours, often same day. Printable PDF cards are available immediately at checkout.
