About Rainforest protection
It is well known that de-forestation of rainforest areas cause large amount of CO2 to be freed (i.e. through burning). Even worse, as the rainforest naturally absorbs large quantities of CO2, cutting trees will stop that process. One hectare of rainforest contains about 550 tons of CO2 in the trees and plant above the ground (55 kg CO2/m2).

To help the local population and societies living in the rainforest in the effort to preserve these valuable areas, Solstad has decided to contribute through the Rainforest Foundation Norway (No: Regnskogfondet).
Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN) supports indigenous peoples of the world's rainforests in their effort to protect their forest. RFN supports projects in ten countries, in all three rainforest continents. RFN works closely together with more than 100 local partners.
