Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

Carbon offsetting

Taking action against climate change with Born Free is easy, relatively inexpensive, will protect wildlife and help African communities.  Your air travel significantly contributes to climate change, but thanks to a joint venture between Born Free and the Bill Woodley Mount Kenya Trust, your harmful carbon emissions can be offset by funding the reafforestation of the Mount Kenya National Reserve.  This important tropical forest has suffered heavy degradation in recent years.  An important habitat for wildlife, Mount Kenya is a World Heritage site and a critical water catchment area, providing millions of Kenyans with water. By donating a specific sum of money each time you fly, responsible companies, organizations and individuals can support this forest regeneration project.
