Strategic Plan | 2021 – 2025

In 2016, faced with the urgency of biodiversity loss and climate change, Rainforest Trust launched the SAVES Challenge with an anonymous benefactor to accelerate the creation of protected areas in the tropical habitats most critical for life on Earth.
Through SAVES (Safeguarding Areas Vital to Endangered Species), we have…
- Raised $50 million to match a $50 million challenge grant
- Allocated $100 million to create protected areas in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia-Pacific
- Will protect 40 million acres, bringing the total acreage protected since our founding to 50 million
