Like every year...
…Sarah is sponsoring her birthday to do something good - in Bolivia of course ;-)
This year all gifts in form of donations will go to a small but vital project: a centre at the edge of the Bolivian Amazon with materials to combat forest fires and capacitating voluntary firefighters. If fires or inundations occure within or nearby close nature protection areas (Madidi, Pilon Lajas, EBB), much needed help will be there quickly and efficiently.
All birthday donations will be used for the following materials:
- Fire fighting backpacks & paddles
- Protection clothes, goggles, helmets and gloves
- Respiratory protection
- Machetes and rakes
- Training costs
The goal is to get all gears and realise the trainings until July, so they are gonna be ready for the next burning season.
This project is a private initiative by Marcos Uzquiano, who has been a park ranger and nature protection activist for many yeras. He has been awarded by the IUCN for his tireless efforts and will give half of the award money to his project. Sarah wants to support his idea and ensure with this campaign that he and his volunteers will be ready to go in time.
Thank you so much for your support - every amount matters!
