As a result, Vivienne has donated more than £1 million to Cool Earth. She’s galvanised her friends to join the cause - including Kate Moss, Lily Cole, Sadie Frost and Stella Tennant and has dedicated two of her fashion shows to Cool Earth. Following a week spent living with a tribe in the Peruvian Amazon, Vivienne has lobbied the Peruvian government on their Forestry Programme. Her zeal for rainforest protection is incomparable.

In 2013, Vivienne and husband Andreas travelled with The Times to visit the Ashaninka rainforest project that they have funded. “The Ashaninka are wonderful. They are kind and elegant people who care about the forest which is their home.” Read about their stay with the Ashaninka in The Times.
