This month, Rainforest Trust and the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) purchased a 9-acre property near the Magombera Forest Reserve in central Tanzania.

South Africa’s Soutpansberg mountain range has an extraordinary variety of important and unique habitat types. Resident species reflect that diversity, ranging from small endemic species to large, wide-ranging predators, like the Vulnerable Leopard. But wildlife poaching, agricultural expansion and sand-mining threaten the future of the region’s ecosystem. This week, Rainforest Trust’s local partner, The Endangered […]
The unique and threatened biodiversity of the Ecuadorean Amazon has been a conservation priority to Rainforest Trust since our earliest days.

The site is crucial to Puerto Rico’s endemic amphibians and plants, as well as local birds. But expanding agricultural development threatens to destroy the region’s forests. The growing specter of climate change could […]
Ecuador’s Chocó forests are some of the world’s most biodiverse and endemic-rich ecosystems. But they are also some of the most threatened — Ecuador has one of the highest deforestation rates in South America.
