John’s Kilimanjaro climb is a part of the IWA’s commitment to a new project called Rainforest – the Size of Wales.

An area “the size of Wales” is frequently used to emphasise how fast forest is being lost.

Through Rainforest – the Size of Wales, the IWA is turning this on its head and urging Wales, as a nation, to protect forests in Africa.

As much as 15-20 per cent of carbon emissions are from forest loss.

You can support this initiative by making a donation online to Environment Africa Trust.
