Shrinking arctic ice. Increased tropical cyclone activity. Severe droughts. Scientists say we're already beginning to experience the effects of climate change -- but it's not too late to change course.

For more than twenty years, the Rainforest Alliance has been working to curb deforestation, responsible for 20 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions. That's more than the emissions from trains, planes and automobiles combined.

Help us ensure that the next international climate treaty includes strong provisions for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). If we don't act now to stop deforestation, we won't win the battle against climate change.

The Rainforest Alliance is working to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by...

Promoting responsible forest management, so that forests continue to provide environmental services, such as carbon sequestration, even as timber and botanicals are extracted.
Teaching tourism companies how to manage their greenhouse gas emissions, and offset those which they cannot eliminate.
Helping farmers protect and restore tree cover.
Enabling forest-based communities who manage their land well to benefit from payments for carbon credits.
Educating the next generation of conservationists about the importance of environmental stewardship.
