How we work
Deforestation is complex, our solutions are simple.
We give cash and data to people who live in the rainforest. Simple.
When cash and data are paired with traditional knowledge, radical solutions happen – be it Indigenous businesses, solar set ups or satellites in space – it all protects the rainforest.
When Indigenous people and local communities have a rainforest protection track record spanning thousands of years, we’d be mad not to back them.
What we do
We protect the rainforest in three key ways.
Unconditional Cash Transfers
The act of giving no-strings cash is the most simple, effective and radical way to create change.
Locally Led Projects
This is what your cash funds, be it beehives, cacao drying equipment, or chickens.
Forest Monitoring
Blending traditional knowledge, biodiversity tracking, and big satellite data drives direct climate action.
The Power of Listening
It all sounds pretty straight forward, right? In truth there’s no magic formula to rainforest protection, but if there’s one thing we do well. We listen.
We listen to people living in rainforest and work with Indigenous leaders and in-country NGOs to get your cash to the people best placed to spend it.
Together, our impact is powerful. Here's the evidence.
Where we work
Different forests, different fights
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. The Peruvian Amazon is not like the Congo rainforest, and the Congo rainforest bears no resemblance to rainforests in Papua New Guinea.
Threats vary too. One minute it’s colonialists, then mining and logging, wildfires and more. Relentless, right?
