(http://www.saveyourworld.com/), the first company in the United States to launch a personal care product line infused with organic yerba mate and organic aloe vera, has saved 120,000 acres of rainforest from logging and other destructive development for one year in Guyana, South America.

The company, whose "green" business model is One Product = One Acre of Rainforest Saved for One Year(TM), is helping to save the rainforest through a unique and innovative leasing program, one of the first of its kind in the world.
Through contributions and product sales, Save Your World(TM) helps pay the annual royalties and fees required to maintain Conservation International's agreement with the Guyana Forestry Commission to protect the rainforest in its pristine state. Save Your World's goal is to help preserve 200,000 acres of Guyana rainforest via this renewable 30-year agreement - a conservation concession rather than a timber concession.
"Save Your World is committed to protecting our world's natural resources," explains Scott Cecil, President of Save Your World. "We believe that people can live in harmony with nature, and it's important to protect areas rich in plant and animal biodiversity for future generations. We are excited about rapidly reaching the milestone of saving 120,000 acres of rainforest."
"The project has been an enormous success with the government and people of Guyana because, for the first time, they haven't had to choose between conservation and economic development, which is a practical necessity for one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere," said Dick Rice, Chief Economist at Conservation International.
The South American rainforest project is on the world's oldest geological rock formation and is one of the richest areas for plant and animal biodiversity. Rainforests contain about half the planet's 5 to 10 million plant and animal species, and harbor 70% (2000) or more of the plants identified as having anti-cancer characteristics by the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
