Dear Friends and Colleagues, One of the organizations I feel most passionately about is the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT), on whose Board of Advisers I serve. For much of the past two decades, ACT has partnered with over thirty Indian tribes to map and improve the management and protection of over seventy million acres of South American rainforest. As many of you know, I traveled to Colombia with ACT earlier this year to visit the land of the Kogi tribe. It was a profoundly moving and personal experience; you can read more about it here: HAPPINESS IS A COLOMBIAN TRIBE. smashinginterviews/interviews/musicians/julian-lennon-interview-happiness-is-a-colombian-tribe Sponsored by the Skoll Foundation, ACT is now embarking on a Crowdrise campaign. Not only will the costs of the campaign be covered by Skoll so that all donations go right to the cause, but ACT can qualify for hundreds of thousands of matching monies, meaning that your support will go much, much further. I am asking all my friends and supporters to consider making a donation of ten dollars or more to help ACT qualify for these additional monies and - more importantly - help ACT protect Kogi lands as well as the rainforests of over a dozen uncontacted tribes in the nothwest Amazon. You can give money via this website (and note that you can opt out of the $5 Crowdrise fee at the end, as it is optional): https://crowdrise/AmazonConservationTeam-SE/fundraiser/julianlennon Thank you for joining me in this effort!
