And Build a High-Tech Forest Shield
The Rainforest Foundation is committed to exploring Block Chain Technology’s uses to protect the rainforest—we are researching the use of smart contracts to stop illegal logging and land trafficking, and safeguard forests from gold mining, as well as getting ready to launch our cryptocurrency: BitSeeds to facilitate access to capital and credit to the many indigenous communities that don’t have access traditional exchange systems.
Of course it’s not just the block chain. We combine high-tech drone and GPS forest protection with traditional indigenous foot patrols and forest defense to create a virtual shield protecting the rainforests for generations to come. We train our indigenous partners to fly drones, use mapping software, advocate for their rights, and work in partnership with government agencies to stop illegal incursions on to their rainforest lands.
Cryptocurrency donations will be used to fund our high-tech rainforest shields and more.

Charitable Bequests
Many Native American communities are committed to the idea of respecting seven generations—ensuring people make decisions taking into account the seven generations closest them. We all want to make sure know we are passing on a healthy and thriving planet to our family and friends. One way you can ensure your passion and commitment to protecting our planet from climate change, ensuring the biodiversity of the rainforest and the rights of the indigenous peoples is to leave a bequest to Rainforest Foundation US in your will.
A Simple Process
One of the easiest ways to make a gift from your estate is by adding Rainforest Foundation US as a beneficiary of your estate. This gift is called a charitable bequest and simply involves adding a few sentences to your will. Here is an example of what you could include:
I give [enter the amount you want to give, or percentage of your estate, or residue] to Rainforest Foundation US, having its principal office at 1000 Dean Street, Suite 430, Brooklyn, NY 11238, for its general purposes to protect the rainforest and the rights of indigenous peoples.
