Sign up to The Rainforest Run and get a move on for our planet, before it’s too late!
On Sunday 22nd September, wherever you are in the world, run, jog or walk 5k or 10k, and collect sponsorship to save the rainforest and the amazing wildlife within it.
We need committed supporters like you, who care about the environment and who are willing to take immediate action to protect our planet. If we conserve the rainforest and its vital ecosystems, we not only save entire species, but our future too!
The Rainforest Run is a virtual run, so unite with people all over the world and take part on the same day, in a location of your choice. Anyone can get involved! You can take on this challenge as an individual, or a team, or even with your dog.
No matter where you are in the world, you have the power to make a real and lasting difference. Every step you take is a step towards a better future for generations to come!

WHY IS THE RAINFOREST RUN SO IMPORTANT?
The Rainforest Run is the perfect opportunity for you to join the global movement to save “the lungs of the planet” before it is too late.
Climate change and biodiversity loss are having a catastrophic effect on our world and rainforests are our best defence in the fight against global temperature rises.
WHAT WE'RE DOING
At International Animal Rescue, we work tirelessly to protect wildlife and their precious habitats! Our vision is a world where humans and animals coexist in sustainable ecosystems.
Our rescue centres around the world have helped over 100 species and in Costa Rica, we are rescuing at least one animal every single day! Our aim is to return animals to their natural environment wherever possible, but we also provide a permanent home for those that can no longer fend for themselves.
In addition to rescue, rehabilitation and release, we run a number of rainforest restoration and protection programmes. Through forest patrols, reforestation, training, research, education and the development of alternative livelihoods, the forests that we all depend on are being kept safe and thriving.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
By taking part in The Rainforest Run on Sunday 22nd September you can play your part in the urgent fight to save our planet.
The funds you raise will help to plant trees, protect rainforests, empower women, save species, inspire the next generation of eco-warriors, and build a better future for us all.
