Rainforest Foundation US provides the tools, training, and resources that ensure the rainforests’ best guardians are able to defend their rights — and their forests.

Our Impact In Numbers

Land Rights

We have helped secure rights to 42.7 million acres of forests & lands since 1988

Deforestation rates are lower on lands managed by Indigenous communities with secure land rights. And healthy forests store more carbon and slow climate change.

Rainforest Protection

We help protect 19.5 million acres of forests through monitoring

Deforestation is a primary driver of carbon emissions. Integrating new technology with traditional forest monitoring practices stops deforestation more effectively.

Strengthening Organizations

We support 200+ Indigenous communities & organizations

Strong organizations and communities are more resilient and sustainable. We provide direct financing and co-design strategies with our partners to support them in protecting their lands and our planet.
