Friend,
Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, but its vital rainforest ecosystems are increasingly under threat from deforestation. Women living in Colombia’s remote rural areas often lack access to reproductive health services, while also facing early marriage and childbirth, as well as high rates of gender-based violence.
One of our Global Partners, Colombia-based Women for Conservation, involves rural communities—and particularly the women in those communities—in habitat conservation around critically endangered wildlife reserves. Their programs are structured into three “pillars” to accomplish this vital work: nature conservation, family planning, and sustainable livelihoods.
Population pressures are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, and that’s why Women for Conservation partners with grassroots women’s groups throughout Colombia to ensure that no matter their economic circumstances, women can choose if or when to have children. Initiatives like this build stronger communities, foster healthier families, and slow population growth.
Your generous gift of $30.00 today will support the life-changing work of our Global Partners, including Women for Conservation. And, now through December 31st, a generous donor will match your donation, DOUBLING your impact, up to $250,000!
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to global population stabilization and your support of our work throughout the year.
With warm wishes for a joyful holiday season,
