No Forests = No Future: A Call to Support Indigenous Defenders on the Frontlines
Rainforest Foundation US provides the tools, training, and resources that ensure the rainforests’ best guardians are able to defend their rights and their forests.
We have helped secure rights to 43 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.
We help protect 19.3 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.
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.
Rainforest Foundation US is tackling some of the world’s most urgent challenges: deforestation, biodiversity loss, human rights violations and climate change
