Earlier this year, Rainforest Action Network found out that some kids’ books are being printed on paper that comes from rainforest destruction – even kids’ books about rainforests! We did some research and started a database of books that are “rainforest-safe.” In other words, it’s a database of books that are printed on post-consumer recycled, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified or recycled paper, and aren’t contributing to the loss of Indonesia’s or other endangered rainforests.

This database is made for everyone to use and update, so please help build it by contributing titles of your favorite rainforest-safe books. To get more involved and help tell major American publishers and booksellers to get Indonesian rainforest destruction out of their books, sign up for our Rapid Responder list.

For more information on what makes a book rainforest-safe go here. We consider books in the “Environmental Improved” and “Environmental Superior” categories of the EPN’s Paper Steps hierarchy to be rainforest-safe.
