Tropical Forest Fundraiser December 18, 2008

Proceeds from the Tropical Forest FunkRaiser will help the Ceiba Foundation for Tropical Conservation protect 25,000 acres of tropical forest in Ecuador and deliver environmental education to rural Ecuadorian school children. The Ceiba Foundation is a non-profit organization that has been working since 1997 to conserve tropical forests in the Andes and coastal Ecuador via land protection, environmental education and community development. They also run UW-accredited study abroad programs in Ecuador to teach young people about the importance of biodiversity conservation. They have recently moved to Madison from Chicago and are holding this event to get the Madison community involved in their efforts.
