There are more types of plants and animals living in the Amazon rainforest than anywhere else on the planet! Do you know who else lives there too? And why it’s important to all of us to keep the rainforests healthy? Learn all this and how Rainforest Foundation US is supporting the people that live in the rainforest to protect it.
Take a stand for rainforests by creating your own fundraiser. When you show your friends that you care about issues like rainforest protection or the rights of Indigenous peoples, they’re much more likely to pay attention and want to help. Find detailed instructions for setting up a fundraiser and ideas for sharing it on social media. Getting started is easy!
A recent study, co-authored by Global Forest Watch and Rainforest Foundation US, demonstrates that providing technology to Indigenous communities can effectively reduce deforestation. Dive into the findings that could reshape our approach to rainforest protection.
What can you do to protect the rainforest? It turns out quite a bit, even if you don’t live near one! What we consume, support with time and money, and lend our voices to have far-reaching impacts.
Rainforests absorb and store more carbon dioxide than all other types of forests, making rainforest protection one of the most effective solutions to climate change. Support indigenous peoples on the frontlines of rainforest protection.
