Earth’s Three Green Hearts: Equatorial Rainforests and Working to Heal Them

ByNovasutras Movement

Equatorial rainforests are sacred places. People around the world are coming together to recognize this fact and work to save Earth’s Three Green Hearts: Amazonia, Congo, and Sundaland. The Novasutras Movement is working to preserve and protect each of them. You can learn more about it in conversation with Michelle Merrill and Paul Schaafsma on Tuesday, August 25th 2:30pm PDT / 21:30 UTC. Learn more about this event…
