Rainforest Foundation US

♀️✊Across the world, Indigenous women are organizing for their rights, their communities, and their forests. In the North Pakaraimas mountains of #Guyana, Surujani Robinson and other Patamona women came together to address the challenges faced by women. Through the Patamasan Protectors of I'na Pata (PPIP), they are advancing women’s leadership, promoting gender equality, and confronting gender-based violence in their communities. Learn more about Surujani and the women organizing in Guyana in our new story. Read more rainforestfoundation.org/indigenous-wom…

Los minerales que impulsan la tecnología y la transición energética también están alimentando minería ilegal y violencia en la Amazonía. El sur de #Venezuela es uno de los epicentros de esta crisis ambiental y humanitaria #Amazonía #MineralesCríticos @AmazonTeam @RainforestUS

🌱 In 2025, fires in Brazil’s Amazon dropped by 78%, reaching the lowest levels since 2019. 9.5 million acres of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest burned last year, this is roughly 50 times the land area of New York City. While still alarming, this represents a dramatic 78% reduction compared to 2024. 🔗 Visit our Amazon Fires page to learn more. rainforestfoundation.org/engage/brazil-…

💸A new report from the UN Environment Programme highlights a sobering reality: for every $1 invested in protecting nature, $30 is spent driving its destruction. Indigenous peoples and local communities are among the most effective forest stewards on the planet, yet receive a tiny fraction of the finance meant to protect nature.

Believe it or not, cattle ranching is a leading driver of deforestation in the Amazon, and the U.S. ranks second among buyers of Brazilian beef. Visit our website to learn more about the Amazon rainforest and the biggest threats pushing it to the brink ➡️ rainforestfoundation.org/our-work/where…

Amazonian stingless bees now have legal rights in parts of Peru 🐝 New laws recognize their right to exist and thrive. These native bees are essential to tropical forests and are responsible for up to 90% of pollination in parts of the Amazon. A major step forward for the #RightsOfNature movement.

For a 2026 where the world recognizes that forests are worth more standing than cut down. 🌳🌳🌳

Our 2025 Year in Review is here. ✊This year, your support helped advance Indigenous land rights, expand rainforest protection, and move real resources into the hands of Indigenous and local communities. Thank you for standing with us and with the Indigenous peoples who continue to protect the world’s rainforests for the benefit of all 🌳 rainforestfoundation.org/winter-2025-ne…

Without forests, there is no future. Last year alone, the world lost an area of primary tropical forest over 20 times the size of Yosemite. Indigenous peoples are on the frontlines of this crisis, leading the fight to protect forests, their territories, and the planet we all depend on. ➡️Visit our website to learn more about ways you can support. rainforestfoundation.org/no-forests-no-…

🌳Rainforests, and the Indigenous peoples who protect them, are under threat. They safeguard vital carbon sinks, biodiversity, and our climate, yet receive less than 1% of climate funding. Your support can help defend millions of acres of rainforests. 👇Read more and act now: rainforestfoundation.org/no-forests-no-…

On Human Rights Day, please remember that protecting the rainforest means protecting the people who protect it. 🤍Thank you for standing with us—and with them.
