GLOBAL INITIATIVES:

 Fighting Climate Change. Agriculture, forestry and tourism generate more than 35 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, which is why the Rainforest Alliance is systematically working to overhaul these industries. We’re sharing our strategies for curbing climate change at COP16.

 		Fighting Climate Change
GREEN ON THE GROUND:

 Trees for Global Benefit. In Uganda, farmers are bringing back native forest, sequestering carbon dioxide and providing habitat for wildlife through a tree-planting project.

 		NEW SITE:

 Have you stopped by www.rainforest-alliance.org recently? If so, you’ve probably noticed that the site has undergone a dramatic transformation! In addition to its new look and feel, the Rainforest Alliance website is now organized by audience rather than program, includes a live Twitter and blog feed, and features streamlined content. Have a minute?

Come explore the new site!
BIODIVERSITY SPOTLIGHT:

 Sumatran Orangutan. The survival of this species rests on forest conservation and sustainable timber production, making our carbon conservation work in Indonesia critically important.

The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods
by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior.
