Our Impact
Rainforest Foundation US partners with Indigenous peoples by co-creating and sharing technology, tools, resources, and training to protect their rainforest territories.
Acres monitored
We support Indigenous-led monitoring programs to protect 13.7 million acres in the Amazon and Central America
Indigenous and Local Communities served in 2023 through representative partner organizations or direct support
Acres land rights secured
With our support, over the past 35 years, Indigenous peoples have secured land rights for over 42 million acres
Forests protected by Indigenous peoples play a vital role in capturing carbon, crucial in our fight against climate change.
Making a Difference with Your Support:
Thanks to the generous contributions from supporters worldwide, Rainforest Foundation US (RFUS) has significantly expanded our critical programs. These initiatives ensure essential resources are channeled directly to Indigenous communities, the true guardians of the rainforests, in the Amazon and Central America.
In the regions in which Rainforest Foundation US works—namely, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Guyana, and Panama—rainforests thrive in the care of Indigenous peoples and local communities. It’s why each year we are acknowledged as a ‘best environmental charity.’
Take Action Against Climate Change
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.
