What can people do to help Toucans?

Toucans live in the Amazon rainforest, and are primarily threatened by deforestation. There are several ways we can help them, as well as countless other species from the Amazon.

1. We can buy Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paper and wood products. Unlike most paper and wood products, FSC Certified paper and wood products are harvested responsibly and sustainably, which means that they don't contribute to deforestation.

2. Buy shade grown coffee (if you drink coffee). A lot of coffee is grown in the same area as the Amazon. Shade grown coffee tastes best, but sun grown coffee has a higher yield, and therefor pays the farmers more. So they slash and burn the forest to make room for their plantations. However, shade grown coffee grows beneath the large jungle canopy, and then the people are using the land, so the jungle is protected.

3. Donate money to groups like the World Wildlife Fund that work to conserve endangered species.
