A lot of the problems we face are essentially man-made, so naturally as human beings we should also be able to reduce them. Natural disasters, of course, are in a different category, but according to environmental scientists even they may owe something to human behavior. Therefore, if we are optimistic, take a longer view, and we employ realistic methods, we can contribute to making the world a better place.

-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama February 16, 2012

The SACRED 7 campaign is making a conscious effort to promote theprotection of the remaining SACRED 6 percent of the world’s tropical rainforest

while at the same time trying to increase this number one percent at time.We also vow to protect the 7 SACRED oceans of the world.

Tropical rainforests account for 6 percent or less of the Earth’s surface yet 50 percent of all the world’s species live in the rainforest. Just 50 years ago rainforests

accounted for 14 percent of the Earth’s land surface. Scientist say that at the current rate of destruction the remaining 6 percent of the Earth’s rainforest will be

gone by the year 2050.

• Developed Educational Program – over 20 schools mostly in Southern CA have participated

• Planted 1000 tropical hardwoods and native fruit trees to sequester carbon and bring back species such as the macaw and blue Morpho butterfly

• Meetings with President Oscar Arias and U.S. Ambassador to Costa Rica – supports programs

• INBio Research – The National Biodiversity Institute of Costa Rica• Scientists completed 2-day field trip of protected land, findings stated that there are 800,000 fungi species known in the world today, with research of this land alone, this total could be increased to 1.5 million

• INBio currently holds position on the Board of Directors of the Foundation

• Your support could replenish the 50% of rainforest that the industrial revolution destroyed the last 50 years.

• Stop the 100,000 acres per day, 1.5 acres per second and 37 million acres per year of rainforest land that are lost every year.

• The rainforest is host to 50% of the Earth’s plant, animals and micro-organisms, you support will help discover and protect the 150 plant, animal and insect species that are lost every single day.

• 25% of pharmaceutical drugs are developed from components found in the rainforest. Some of the most successful cancer fighting drugs were developed utilizing components derived from the rainforest. You will help find cures.

• The U.S. National Cancer Institute has identified over 3,000 plants that are active against cancer cells, and 70% of these plants are found only in rainforests. • While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less than 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested. Your support will allow us to test species that have not yet been tested.

• 70% to 80% of all the oxygen we breathe comes from 7000 algae species found in the ocean. We need marine algae a whole lot more than they need us!

• Rainforests act as the world’s thermostat. It has a direct effect on the “greenhouse effect”, which occurs naturally, making life as we know it possible. Even though the rainforest is thousands of miles away from the United States, it maintains the ecosystem’s services upon which all human livelihoods depend on. You’ll help control weather patterns.

Why Should YOU Protect the Rainforests & Oceans?

• Rainforests and oceans help maintain the Earth’s FOOD, WATER, OXYGEN supplies. You’ll help future generations sustain life on earth.

SACRED 7Guardians of the Rainforests and

OceansComparable to Bono’s One campaign, where more than 2.5 million people are committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable diseases and his Red campaign which has generated more that $170 million since 2006 to fight against the spread of AIDS and HIV, the Sacred 7 campaign will not only garner United States coverage but will receive world recognition for saving the world’s sacred rainforest land and oceans.

Involvement in the SACRED 7 campaign will bring attention to the artist for helping the

world in addition to their great music.

SAVE THE RAINFOREST & OCEANS

• The government of Costa Rica is going to supply SACRED 7 with FSC certified hardwood for the music wood program. Some of these woods have never been exported from Costa Rica. This program is a first of its kind and will support the rainforest and its inhabitants.

• The sale of this wood will create sustainable income for farmers, land owners and indigenous native cultures of Costa Rica.

• It is our intention that the instruments created will be played by the manufactures professional endorsees, filmed and signed, then auctioned later for the charity. Creating goodwill for all, awareness throughout the world and sustainable income for those protecting the rainforest.

Twenty years from now

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

- Mark Twain

Live for something you have done.Become a guardian of the Sacred 7 campaign to protect

and restore the remaining sacred rainforests and oceans of the world.
