Although they seem like the provide a great trade-free service, the following is worth mentioning:
“To finance the nature reserve, BOS created a system of “land-purchasing”, a “Create Rainforest” initiative where donors can symbolically adopt square metres of rainforest[25] and are able to view and follow the progress of their “purchase” in the project area with Google Earth satellite images from 2002 and 2007 with additional information overlaid.[26]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borneo_Orangutan_Survival
