Roger Harris' Fundraiser:

At SavingSpecies, we're doing something about global change — and preventing species extinctions at the same time. You can do your part by supporting a proven program that works. We raise money to offset carbon emissions by buying degraded land in the world's biodiversity hotspots and restoring the native forest.

Our carbon is very cheap, very beautiful — our purchases connect forest fragments into viable protected areas — and *very* transparent — you can see on Google Earth exactly where our money goes and how the forest is returning to the places we restore.

Importantly, 100% of the money we raise goes to land purchases. Those land purchases are made (and managed) by local conservation organizations. We charge no overhead, we are all volunteer. We get external grants to do the research on where we should acquire land. We don't even collect the money — the Hollywood based Environmental Media Association does that for us, keeps our books, and keeps our costs to zero. And, yes, they are a registered charity, so donations are tax deductible
