The “drinking wine & hiking pines” white tank from The Park Apparel is one of their fun, fashionable pieces that feels good on, and feels good purchasing. That’s because every purchase from The Parks Apparel protects 100 square yards of land for endangered wildlife. Their current focus is on the Cerro Amay cloud forest in Guatemala by working to acquire and protect over 50,000 acres of the remaining forest through their partnership with Global Wildlife Conservation.
As one of the few pristine cloud forests remaining in the world, the Cerro Amay in Guatemala is of the highest immediate conservation priority. Although cloud forests occur globally on tropical mountains, they are very rare, comprising less than two percent of all forests, and many of them continue to be destroyed. Where cloud forests survive, not only do they provide shelter for thousands of endemic tropical species, but they serve as cauldrons of discovery as scientists continue to discover new montane species previously unknown to science.
