Projects
currently has two projects in Brazil and one in Ecuador - with new sites in development. The project areas have been specifically chosen because they are of high strategic value for a number of reasons:
- They are located at the frontier of destruction, where rain forest is immediately threatened by human activities like logging and cattle ranching.
- Either their location or their conservation acts as a protective blockade for tens of thousands of acres of forest behind them, ensuring our sponsors are protecting far more than their own acres.
- They are mature rainforests with uniquely high levels of biodiversity reflecting thousands of years of undisturbed growth, wildlife and species.
Sustainable development is key to preserving the rainforest

Each of the coolearth projects secure threatened rainforest with your money. We put it in a local trust, and work towars protecting it around the clock to keep the carbon where it belongs. We employ local people to do the work, help fund community based livelihood and/or education services and make sure the rainforest is worth more standing than cut down.
