The ATLANTIC RAINFOREST RESCUE ALLIANCE is an NGO focused on the conservation and restoration of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. All our projects aim to protect and preserve the incredible biodiversity and unique beauty of this extremly threatened ecosystem. We are currently focusing on providing "TOOLS" for conservation and restoration of the Atlantic Forest. Only little knowledge on animals and plants and their ecological functions is currently available and restoration projects have been little functional in terms of biodiversity conservation and carbon storage. This is why we developed an innovative restoration method for tropical forests. Our FOSRC - FAUNA ORIENTATED SUCCESSIONAL REFORESTATION CONCEPT focuses on the creation of highly biodiverse, auto-sustainable and stratified forests, with a high carbon storage capacity. Our second project THE BRAZILIAN PLANTFINDER focuses on offering information on native brazilian plants and animals and their ecological functions. Additionally, we will offer information related to ecological restoration of tropical rainforests, in order to improve the results of restoration and conservation efforts. Our FAUNA RESEARCH PROJECT focused on creating a data set of food and shelter plant species, which are indispensible for fauna survival in the Atlantic Forest.

Our mission is to support girls and women in need. We focus on Kenya by counselling girls together with their schools, provide accessable medical preventive care and support where necessary together with our local partners. We work sustainable by enabling local partners to deliver the prevention, support, care and treatment according to their regulations and what they feel is neccessary. We have no political or religous mission. We work according to the sustainable development goals 1,3,4,5,10 and 17 by the UN. The UN introduced 2015 the sustainable development goals in order to achieve worldwide improvements for people in respect of health, safe environement, democratic rights and education. The former Millenium Development goals, set 2000, could not meet their target in 2015. Millenium Development Goal 5 was a reduction of maternal mortality by 3/4 until 2015. Only a reduction of 44% was achieved. The SDG now aims at a maternal mortality rate of 70/100.00 maternities or less. At present, the maternal mortality rate in Kenya is 400/100.000,(1) meaning 6.400 women dying each year during pregnancy and childbirth. Nearly half of these deaths are attributed to unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortion. 45% of women requesting abortion were younger than 19 years and did not use family planning methods prior to pregnancy (2). Females suffer from poor education and poor information of physiologic processes like menstruation and fertility. Taboos regarding these phenomena are still in place in underpriviledged parts of society in Kenya. These periodpoverty must end. These horrible figures cry for action by simply providing medical assistance able to deal with family planning, ante natal care and experienced gynae services if necessary. Kenya has a well organized health system, free medical care is guaranteed for everyone. Medical care is provided by governemental institutions, private institutions, and faith based organizations. Poor patients are waived if possible in the private sector and treated for free in the faith based organisations.Kenya is establishing a health insurance at present. Contributions are low. Reality unfortunately shows, that even the low contributions are too high, people can not afford the low charges in public hospitals , especially if young and female. There is an considerably equity gap between the social classes and the rural compared to the urban areas (3).The offer of antenatal care and preventive measures like cancer screening are not taken up by marginalized people in dire straits. Young girls need education regarding menstruation, physiologic female cycle, prevention of sexual transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Access to menstral hygiene products is necessary to achieve that girls can go to school, do not suffer lack of education just because they menstruate and can achieve the same level of ecucation as their male classmates.
