Climate Adaption
To protect the future we must adapt to the present.
The climate crisis impacts the lives of rainforest communities more than most.
Right now, communities are experiencing disruptive effects, climate adaption is a necessity to survive. Indigenous and local people don’t have any choice but to change their way of life to continue living in and protecting rainforest.
Climate breakdown threatens to displace millions but without people, the carbon-capturing tropical rainforest will suffer. Not to mention the personal, cultural and human injustices.
Resilience, even in the face of the greatest threat, is happening right now; led by communities themselves.
This is Climate Adaption
Climate adaption projects create an opportunity to ease climate pressures people in rainforest face daily, to ensure their homes can remain just that.
Wildfire Prevention
Our work with the Asháninka and CARE in the Amazon aims to stop climate-induced wildfires before they start.
Solar Energy
With our partner organisation CCREAD we worked with the community to install solar farms in the Congo to ease pressure on rainforest-sourced firewood.
Energy Efficient Stoves
Biomass stoves not only improve the health of rainforest but less smoke helps human health too.
Water Tanks
An efficient way to collect rain water during dry seasons.
Rainforest Firefighters
Our collaboration with indigenous-led Central Ashaninka del Rio Ene (CARE) backs community action to prevent fires before they start and if they do, we arm people with the tools they need to fight back.
