What If We Prevented the Worst of the Climate Crisis Before It’s Too Late?

What if we prevented the worst of the climate crisis before it’s too late? What if we stopped deforestation and rainforests flourished? 

We believe it’s possible. This Earth Day, we’re exploring the world we can create together—a safer, more just and sustainable future, where rainforests thrive.

A generous donor is matching all gifts up to $40,000. Act now to double your impact on Indigenous-led rainforest protection. For every $1 you give, RFUS will receive $2 (the approximate cost to protect one acre of rainforest from deforestation for one year with satellite monitoring!)

Here are just a few examples of what we accomplished together in 2024:
