Rainforest Concern

The world's tropical rainforests are the richest and most diverse habitats on earth. They represent a vast reservoir of knowledge and contain a wealth of ecosystems and wildlife, with many species still undiscovered.

Protecting biodiversity whilst we still have the choice.

Rainforest Concern is saving the world’s rainforests while there is still time. Established as a registered charity in 1993, we protect threatened natural habitats; particularly rainforests, the biodiversity they contain and the indigenous people who still depend on them for their survival. Lack of protection often leads to deforestation, releasing carbon dioxide, threatening biodiversity and affecting the very processes which supply humans, animals and plants with breathable air, clean water and fertile soil. Rainforest Concern protects areas of rainforests and has 18 conservation projects in 11 countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Suriname, Costa Rica, Panama, India, Sri Lanka and Uganda.

Central to Rainforest Concern’s philosophy is the establishment of strong partnerships with small yet dynamic organisations in the countries where it operates. Such long-term partnerships have repeatedly shown to result in the continued success of projects.
