Over de hele wereld, in bossen en in de landbouw, in keukens en supermarkten, in klaslokalen, pers- en directiekamers, werkt Rainforest Alliance aan bescherming van de biodiversiteit, behoud van natuurlijke bronnen, reductie van klimaatverandering en economische ontwikkeling voor lokale bevolkingsgroepen.
The Rainforest Alliance is helping to arrest the major drivers of deforestation and environmental destruction. In our 2012 Annual Report, we provide a comprehensive overview of our on-the-ground work and detailed financial information.

The Rainforest Alliance has conserved hundreds of thousands of hectares of rainforest from destruction over the past two and a half decades. Yet our mission is more urgent now than ever before. Tropical deforestation produces a significant amount of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which in turn contribute to climate change.
This literature review aims to identify climate‐friendly agricultural practices for coffee, cocoa, and tea that (a) reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the use of land, machinery and chemicals, (b) lead to an increase of on‐farm carbon stocks, and/or (c) improve the resilience of agro‐ecosystems and farming communities to adapt to a changing climate, compared to local, business-as-usual practices (BAUs). This comparison is based on surveys of the scientific data related to GHGs and carbon storage, as well as predictions from models.
