Every minute an area the size of three football pitches of Amazon Rainforest is lost. Through Sky Rainforest Rescue, Sky and WWF have joined forces to help save one billion trees in the Amazon Rainforest.
There are many ways you can support the campaign , such as adopting a jaguar, sponsoring an acre, or simply making a donation; and what’s more Sky will match each donation £ for £ up to £2million.
By fundraising for Sky Rainforest Rescue, you will be helping Sky and WWF protect the Amazon rainforest by tackling deforestation. We are doing this by working with the Acre state government and the local communities, helping them to make a sustainable living from the forest without chopping down trees.
Fundraising is a great way of supporting us, and remember: any money you raise will be worth double as Sky will match it! Look out for our fundraising guide for schools in the New Year.

They have made a brilliant start to the Challenge in 2013 and have taken some great actions, including delivering an assembly, designing board games, raising money to adpot a tiger and making sure they know exactly how much energy their school uses! Well done to you all and the best of luck with the rest of the Challenge!
