It’s easy
to feel overwhelmed by the statistics describing deforestation.
But you can choose to make a positive difference - by supporting
the work of the Rainforest Foundation.
Uniquely among environmental organisations, the Rainforest
Foundation works directly with local forest communities at
a grassroots level: helping them confront poverty and injustice,
and giving them the means and tools to protect their human
rights and habitat.
In the last few years, the Rainforest Foundation has achieved
many successes, including:
|
|
•Securing compensation from the Brazilian government for
the Panara Indians for their lost lands and damage to their
culture.
• The return of the Ashaninka Indians to their native
forests and rivers after years of living as refugees within
Peru.
We help forest communities to secure their civil and land rights,
protecting forests from destruction.
We assist them in establishing community forests to sustain
their families and future generations.
We provide training and materials,
|
|
empowering forest peoples to
continue to be self-sufficient.
Please support us with a regular gift. Just £3 a month
could buy tools, plants and seeds that will enable poor forest
communities to continue to be self-reliant. Help protect rainforests
- and the lives they support.
A regular, tax-effective gift is the most efficient form of
giving; it is easier for you and reduces our administration
costs, which means more of our funds can go directly towards
helping rainforest peoples.
