[AMA Request] Can you tell us something about your work in Africa? And the Philippines (where the pangolin is under threat in Africa as poaching drives rhinos extinct)? And have you ever had to deal with conflicts with the worldwide trafficking crime syndicates in endangered species, including birds, turtles, snakes, primates, and more? And/or the trafficking in the slaughter of endangered mammals and amphibians for "medicines," primarily for markets in Asia?

[AMA Request] Could you use more volunteers and interns both in your near-DC headquarters and in the field? We're almost out of time--My deep thanks to you and everyone at Rainforest Trust for all you have done and are doing! May you never give up and may you go from strength to strength! With hope for life on Earth and the Earth who sustains us all...

Rainforest Trust, which used to be World Land Trust-US, and spun off from the excellent World Land Trust-UK, is a small, grassroots organization. How do you manage to do such amazing work with so little?

[AMA request] Rainforest Trust is a small, intense, grassroots organization, working on a shoestring of funds compared to the deep-pocketed and enormous environmental organizations. How are you able to do so much amazing work with such a limited budget, of which almost 90% goes directly to the incredible habitat- and species-saving projects you sustain and are constantly expanding?
