The Rainforest Foundation
Implementing Protection of the Rainforest
What We Are All About
Helping Indigenous Tribes Gain Rights
The Rainforest Foundation helps the indigenous people that live in the rainforest stand up for their rights. We have helped indigenous people win several legal battles regarding their rights. These have resulted in both national and international rights for these tribes. The Rainforest Foundation has supported these tribes for 20 years and we will continue to do so.
Saving Land
Indigenous people have lived in the rainforest for thousands of years, but they are not recoginized as the rightful owners of their land. The Rainforest Foundation helps these people protect their precious homeland. We protect these people legally and also train their leaders so they can communicate better with their government about their land. We have been protecting the land of the Indigenous people for quite a while now. This land is also home to many animals.
Proving the Capabilities of the Indigenous People
Over the years we have been educating Indigenous leaders on their rights. They have become much more active in government activities than ever before. But because we brought them to the attention of many people, they have now proven that they are now the most effective in protecting the rainforest. Deforestation rates are lower in areas where the Indigenous live than where National parks are located!
