Rainforest Aid 2009

A group of musicians, conservation organizations, eco-lodges, promoters and volunteers have gotten together in support of a Global Fundraiser called RainforestAid09 in Costa Rica. Through music, dance, art, and education we can raise enough money for a new Osa landfill, water systems, Corcovado /Sirena station improvements, monies for the hospitals and high schools as well as for programs that protect endangered species and help stop habitat loss. RainforestAid09 could raise millions of dollars for conservation and will potentially generate $1- $2 million in tourism revenue during the rainy season in June 2009. RainforestAid09 will educate & empower people to make sustainable & responsible lifestyle choices that benefit our planet. The festival will be near La Palma and will focus on better choices regarding energy, air, health, climate & transportation.

Everybody Wins with RainforestAid09.....from the jaguars, dolphin, turtles, and Mono Titis to local communities, rural school, businesses, lodges, rental car companies, local tour operators, buses, airlines, and most importantly the conservation groups that are already here on the Osa and doing the work. With your help, RainforestAid09 can be as beneficial as FarmAid was 20+ years ago. Since then musicians such as Sting, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Billie Joel, Nora Jones and Sheryl Crow have all gotten together in support of the rainforest and have helped raise millions of dollars. There is one key ingredient needed to pull off this festival…your input and support! Join us at RainforestAid June 19-21st 2009 / Summer Solstice next year www.rainforestaid09.com
