Klaus Moeller, president of The Amazon Foundation, is Heather Lounsbury's guest this week. The Amazon Foundation was established in 2009 to acquire and to preserve large tracts of the Amazon rainforest in their natural state in order to maintain its ecological function, biodiversity, and climatologic function and to protect the region's long-term ecological viability and to create global awareness for the cause via marketing campaigns and charitable events. Klaus grew up in Portugal and England and traveled extensively through the Amazon in his youth. Klaus has a long history in fundraising and has been a supporter of the Pattaya Orphanage and School for Handicapped and Blind Kids for over 20 years. In 1998 he was blessed by Pope John Paul II for his charity work. Klaus also started a sustainable Teak Wood plantation in Costa Rica 15 years ago.
