Introduction

STARO stands for Save The Amazon Rainforest Organization and was created by Jessica Hatfield and Dieter Bratschi as a (registered charity number 1116002)to promote for the benefit of the public, the preservation and conservation of the Amazon Rainforest; advance the education in such subjects and to promote research into the climate, flora and fauna of the Amazon Rainforest to publish the useful results. STARO works with the local dwellers to promote sustainable income sources such as beekeeping, nut gathering and other activities. There is only 2% of the Rain forest left worldwide. At first the people who created STARO wanted to make a charity to save gorillas but it didn't work out so decided to change it to rainforests instead.

What they do
  • Work closely with Brazilian environmental charities, in fostering the exploration of the rich biodiversity and ethno-botanical value of the Amazon Rainforest.
  • Carry out sustainable agricultural projects with the local forest dwellers enabling them to live in harmony with nature.

Objectives
  • to increase the awareness of the detrimental effects of people’s carbon footprint.
  • to preserve the richly biodiversity amazon rainforest to ensure it is sustainable.
  • to ensure the amount of Co2 taken in by the amazon rainforest remains 2.2billion tons a year as this is essential for reducing the greenhouse effect.
gollark: Probably, but then I would have had to hook everything to skynet/SPUDNET or something.
gollark: Yes, I'm aware.
gollark: I also had a server rack with a bunch of devices with linked cards (and wireless ones) relaying packets to remote locations, and under heavy load *that* apparently sometimes just crashes despite being connected to a several-kRF/t power supply.
gollark: OC's power requirements can also be annoying sometimes, because apparently my long-range communication relay cubes need something like 300RF/t in RTG capacity to avoid shutting down under heavy load.
gollark: The complexity limits are very low, and there are 2 card slots.
