The Solution

Cool Earth knows that the rainforests are worth much more left standing – both for the planet and for local communities. Our solution is simple: to secure land that would otherwise be sold to loggers and ranchers and to price deforestation out of the market.

Here's how we do it:

•  With your money Cool Earth secures rainforest which would be destroyed over the next 18 months.
• We put the money in a local trust and make the communities there the legal custodians of this land.
• Through community rangers and satellite imagery we monitor and protect the rainforest from any illegal activity around the clock.
• We think strategically, protecting land which will block off a wider landscape from illegal loggers.
• There's no denying logging has provided an income to some local people. Cool Earth enables them to earn a better income through sustainable employment programmes.
• By supporting schools, clinics and sustainable jobs, Cool Earth makes sure forest protection goes hand in hand with better lives.

Your sponsored rainforest

When you sponsor a part of the rainforest we plot that land on Googlemaps for you and set you up with a Cool Earth account which is your window on the tropics and a way of keeping in touch with the project you've sponsored.

There is a solution, it's easy to be part of it. 

Anyone can get involved today, as an individual, a school or business.
