Extending along the coast of Brazil, the Atlantic Forest is a biodiversity hotspot that once covered nearly 330 million acres. Today, a mere seven percent remains. It is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, much of which cannot be found anywhere else on Earth. It is also a critical source of drinking water and hydro-electric energy for more than 120 million people, which makes its preservation a global conservation priority.
Kimpton's EarthCare Program
Kimpton launched its EarthCare program in 1981, and the partnership with The Nature Conservancy is the newest one.
Earlier this year, carmaker Audi partnered with The Nature Conservancy to raise $25,000 to support a similar re-forestation and bio-diversity program in the Lower Mississippi Valley.
