It is with the aim of helping education reach people in Forest Communities, that  UNESCO aims to support this outreach project.  This is a humanitarian organisation and has no commercial interest. 

By supporting this project, we aim towards empowering the Forest River Communities in the Amazon and Forest Schools world-wide. 

UNESCO demonstrates to its volunteers, supporters, Government Authorities and share holders it’s desire to use its resources to enhance the welfare of some of the most impoverished people living in an area in which few other programmes reach.  For this, we have an organisation which implements humanitarian policy on charitable contributions.

UNESCO is working together with a River Community in the Amazon and a School in Ireland, to empower Forest Schools with education facilities and information, in order to equip them with basic knowledge about the logging companies persual of their lands, on which their livelihoods depend.  That work involves negotiating, research, transport, logistics, education and discussion with the people involved. 

Given the fact that American logging companies had satellite maps of this region of the Amazon taken in the 1970’s, there has been enough time for exploitation in the last 30 years and  people are quite ignorant regarding the global changes in biodiversity affecting our global community of citizens.

It is interesting to note that in The Interministerial Group report, it has been revealed that the "Hamburger Connection" increases the destruction of the Amazonian forest.  Cattle ranching is responsible for 80% of the total area deforested in the Amazon.
