Rainforest Foundation US

Rainforests are a sanctuary of biodiversity, and a critical line of defense against the climate crisis. For generations, Indigenous communities have lived in harmony with these lands. But today, their lands face unprecedented threats. Traditional conservation models have failed, often excluding the very people who know the rainforest best. At Rainforest Foundation US, we believe in a different approach—one that lies at the crossroads of environmental protection and human rights. Research shows that rainforests protected by Indigenous peoples have far lower deforestation rates than even national parks. These communities are the key to stopping deforestation. Supporting Indigenous communities on the frontlines isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the smart and effective choice for our planet’s future. Join us in protecting the rainforest and its strongest defenders. Donate to Rainforest Foundation US today.
