Shopping with HOPSTORE means supporting IMPORTANT people and causes. This month we've chosen the NGO CANOPEE. We tell you more 😉
CANOPEE and its missions
As the last frontier, forests are bearing the full brunt of our bulimic consumption of natural resources and energy. But all over the world, resistance is being organized, because forests are life. Reservoir of biodiversity, fountain of water, natural carbon sink, the forest is a source of inspiration for imagining a transition towards fairer, more sustainable societies. Canopée defends the vision of living forests, in harmony with human societies, where the rights of those who protect them are recognized.
Canopée is a citizens' counterweight dedicated to protecting forests in France and around the world.
Understand and act
Canopée has put two comprehensive dossiers online to help you understand the main dangers threatening our forests:
- Forest fires
- Deforestation
So basically, we know what's going on, but frankly, it's chilling.
What we particularly like is that CANOPEE is an NGO rooted in action. We're on the move! Here's an overview of our current campaigns :
And if you too would like to take action, at a first level, as an individual citizen, CANOPEE runs the following petitions :
