Rainforest Trust

saves endangered wildlife and protects our planet by creating permanently protected rainforest reserves. We work with local partners to secure vital habitats that slow climate change, preserve biodiversity, and support communities.

Saving rainforests to slow climate change

Saving rainforests to slow climate change
For people living near Lake Tefé, deep in the Brazilian Amazon, the impacts of deforestation and climate change are all too close. A severe drought last year saw the water level drop to its lowest ever.

Ripple effects of habitat loss

Ripple effects of habitat loss
Endangered species lost their habitats, millions of fish died, and famine hit local people who rely on a healthy rainforest. After years of effort, things are changing: they will soon secure the rights to manage and protect their traditional lands.

Our approach works

Our approach works
We are confident that supporting communities to protect their land is the best way to save rainforests, slow climate change and protect endangered species like the Amazonian Manatee. Your donation will help more communities to do just that.
