Forest Conservation

Rainforest Foundation US (RFUS) partners with Indigenous peoples and local communities across the Amazon and Central America to protect rainforest ecosystems and address the climate crisis. For 35 years, we have supported rainforest communities and organizations throughout Latin America to secure their rights to their traditional lands and livelihoods. Our programming—backed by mounting scientific evidence—is guided by the core belief that Indigenous peoples are the best stewards of the rainforests, defending them better and more cost-effectively than conventional forest conservation entities like national parks.

The Phoenix Conservancy's mission is to restore endangered ecosystems globally for the communities that depend on them and the conservation of biodiversity. Our goal is to return degraded land to healthy, functional ecosystems with maximal extant, native biodiversity. Our focus is on the most critically endangered, biodiverse ecosystems (10% or less intact) on a Local (Palouse prairie), National (Great Plains prairie, Hawaiian Dry Forest Mosaic), and Global (Madagascar rainforest, Ecuadorian Chocó rainforest, Andean forests) scale, where we use restoration as an economic and ecological vehicle to combat and reverse: • Mass extinction of Earth's biodiversity • Climate change and resulting insecurity, desertification, and erosion • Extreme poverty and lack of equitable, sustainable economic opportunities
