Explore our interactive timeline to learn about what you've helped us to accomplish over the past twenty-five years. It all started in the early 1990's. Florence Reed was serving as an environmental education and forestry extension Peace Corps volunteer in Panama.
During her service, she witnessed the tragic human component of tropical deforestation: huge swaths of lush tropical forests being burnt to a crisp as desperate farmers sought new land to farm.To make matters worse, the new land only provided enough nutrients for several years before more forest had to be burned down.
