The mission

What this organization describes

Saving Species + Caring for Communities + Protecting Our Planet

Established in 1988, Rainforest Trust works around the tropics to strategically purchase and protect lands vital for endangered species and indigenous communities. We specifically target the most threatened tropical habitats that are critical for preventing species extinctions and that are exceptionally rich in biological diversity. Celebrating 30 years of lasting conservation action, we are proud to have saved more than 20 million acres of tropical habitat across 53 countries in 150 protected areas and wildlife reserves.
