Save rainforests. Save species. Save the planet.

Every day, precious acres of rainforest are lost forever. Highly threatened species lose their habitat. Communities lose their forest livelihoods. Water sources and weather systems are disrupted. The planet is impacted when stored carbon is released by deforestation and degradation.

Logging, palm oil production and mining destroy forests and pollute water. Poachers traffic plants and animals out of intact habitat. Human expansion and settlement, clearing forests for homesteads and farms, can result in disease outbreaks.

But our conservation work makes a tangible difference.

It might be a swamp forest in the Amazon that protects rare parrots and a traditional way of life for Indigenous people, or a rainforest in Borneo that provides a vital migration corridor for Pygmy Elephants. We could be working to establish a network of new national parks across central Africa. Well-loved, charismatic species need our help. And so do those unknown, virtually invisible species hidden in a corner of the rainforest—the tiny, brown-spotted frog, slithering lizard and not-particularly colorful dragonfly. These species are as important to the fragile web of biodiversity on Earth as the elephants, tigers and chimpanzees.

Your gift to the Conservation Action Fund enables Rainforest Trust to take swift conservation action when and where it is needed most, to protect all forms of life on Earth from all the threats they face.

Conservation Action Fund Updates

Rainforest Trust’s Conservation Action Fund powers our important conservation work when and where it is needed most across the tropics to save species and protect our planet. It is our intention to produce updates like this three times a year, each with a focus on one of the regions where we work: Americas, Asia and Africa. Below, you will find our most recent CAF Updates.

Healthy forests. Healthy planet.

Habitat protection anywhere benefits life everywhere. From city parks to rainforests, each species has a role in the choreography of interdependence. But species also depend on habitat, the space they need to play their role. Our food, medicine, air and water need to come from healthy ecosystems, and tropical rainforests provide us with a large percentage of all of these.

A robust local biodiversity provides ecosystem services like nutrient transfer and pollution breakdown that spread across the entire planet. Protecting diverse habitats is essential to our global ecological health. The Conservation Action Fund allows Rainforest Trust to provide all threatened species and ecosystems no matter how great or small.

Be a part of our solution.

Rainforests are under constant threat. A gift to our Conservation Action Fund supports our most urgent work around the world.

Rainforest Trust believes that the simple solution of stopping the destruction of the last remaining rainforests will positively impact species, communities and the planet. To achieve this goal we establish relationships with local conservation organizations and work together to identify and protect habitat.

Many thanks to our local partners in the field who make our work possible.
