Rainforests keep the planet healthy, absorbing and storing billions of tons of carbon.

Tropical rainforests are cost-effective climate solutions working for our benefit today. Yet they face the greatest risks of deforestation: Nearly all forest loss (95%) occurs in the tropics.

Deforestation accelerates climate change and amplifies its impacts in several ways:

    • Land-clearing, and fires release carbon stored in trees, leaves, and soils, and transfer it to the atmosphere.
    • Rainforest loss destabilizes temperatures and weather across the planet.
    • Deforestation makes nature and people less resilient to hotter temperatures, storms, droughts, floods, and rising seas.
Our Impact

Create protected areas, keep carbon stored

Our Rainforest Climate Action Fund supports projects with the greatest climate impact to:

    • secure “carbon vaults” that store the greatest amount of carbon per dollar.
    • halt deforestation to avoid immediate carbon emissions.
    • protect connected, carbon-dense ecosystems like peat swamps and mangroves.

We hope to permanently lock up carbon and create a healthy future for species, people, and the planet.
