Policy and Advocacy
Our Mission
We’re taking the fight to stop deforestation to the highest level, pushing governments, global institutions and businesses to make decisions that actually help forests and the people who live in them.
NGO Forest Coalition
We’re proud to be a member of the NGO Forest Coalition, a network of UK organisations advocating for forests and the people who depend on them. Through this coalition, we collaborate with other NGOs to amplify the voices of rainforest communities and push for systemic change at national and international levels.
Cash For Conservation Coalition
We’re also a co-founder of the Cash for Conservation Coalition, established in 2024 to champion the power of direct cash transfers for conservation.
Through research, policy work, project support and advocacy, the group shows that giving money straight to local communities is one of the most effective ways to protect forests and respect human dignity at the same time.
We are advocating for
Direct Support to Communities
We push for governments and donors to deliver direct, unconditional cash transfers to communities protecting their forests.
Stronger Deforestation Policies
We are pressing the UK government to adopt stronger policies on deforestation, making sure the UK reduces its contribution to forest loss worldwide.
Community-Led Conservation
We advocate for the recognition of Indigenous and local communities as key decision-makers in managing and protecting forested lands.
