Rainforest SOS Campaign

The Princes Rainforests Project (PRP) recently launched their Rainforest SOS campaign in an effort to send the worlds biggest SOS on behalf of the rainforests before the international climate change meetings held by the UN in Copenhagen this December.

The PRP kicked off the campaign with a video message from Sting urging people to send their Rainforest SOS message to the world. Stings support of the campaign coincides with the 30th anniversary of The Polices Message in a Bottle. In celebration, the PRP released a special video compilation of the Message in a Bottle song, featuring footage of PRP supporters sending personalized SOS messages and images of the rainforests both alive and destroyed.

Building on the success of the public awareness phase of the project launched this May, which has seen over 4.2 million views of the campaign frog film and featured well-known faces including Harrison Ford, Robin Williams and Daniel Craig, the PRP is now asking people across the globe to send a Rainforest SOS message from its web site, http://www.rainforestSOS.org.

The Rainforest SOS message takes the form of the supporters name and an optional short message to show their support for emergency action for the rainforests. These messages will demonstrate the level of public support for action to be taken to stop rainforest destruction, as well as display the growing awareness of deforestations link to climate change. Such a message is vital ahead of global climate change negotiations in Copenhagen this December.
