In fact, 80% of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity is found in forests. #### Adapt to climate change Healthy ecosystems are less exposed to the danger of natural hazards and better prepared for the impact of extreme weather events. #### Protect plants and animals More than 1 million animal and plant species are in danger of extinction. By protecting their habitats, we help them survive. ### About the project ### About the project **100% of project financed!** Help increase the natural habitats for herpetofauna by supporting hibernacula projects for reptiles and amphibians. Located on the edge of the forest, these underground and biodiverse micro-habitats will also provide hiding places for small fauna to reproduce and thermoregulate.
