Rainforest Trust protects the most threatened tropical forests, saving endangered wildlife through partnerships and community engagement. Through these local partnerships, we empower indigenous people to own and steward their own lands while offering them education, training, and economic assistance. This training includes employing them as reserve guards, wildlife monitors, and eco-tourism guides. This highly effective, landscape-based, and community-inclusive model ensures long-lasting results for all the biodiversity within the forests we purchase and protect.
