Here's a link to a BBC article talking about an interview he did for them:

"The halting of logging in the world's rainforests is the single greatest solution to climate change, Prince Charles has said.

He called for a mechanism to be devised to pay poor countries to prevent them felling their rainforests.
The prince told the BBC that the forests provided the earth's "air conditioning system". He said it was "crazy" the rainforests were worth more "dead than alive" to some of the world's poorest people."

Full article here, along with the audio version of the interview:

Britain's Prince Charles called on the world Wednesday to act with a "sense of wartime urgency" to protect the rainforests, warning they were "umbilically connected" to the phenomenon of climate change

That's what I really like about Charles; if he thinks it urgent - he tells it, regardless how popular the view is.
And on this point, I couldn't agree more. If his calculations are right, and I have no reasons to believe otherwise, then the matter does have "wartime urgency".

Thumbs up

This IMO, is a great way to bring awareness to young children. They after all, have got to try to live with the terrible damage we have done to the environment.

The Prince’s Rainforests Project is inviting nursery and primary school-aged children to design its Christmas Card for 2008.
Challenging the imagination and creativity of young children, this can be done as a lesson, an activity day or a homework project
