Forest Allies is a community of practice focused on protecting, restoring, and enabling responsible management of tropical forests. Together with company partners, we will build and foster unique partnerships, work beyond individual supply chains, and engage and empower local communities in critical forest landscapes. We invite your company to join our Forest Allies community to have a greater impact on forests.
The best guardians of the forest are those who make their living from it. But forest communities often lack access to the resources that would enable their enterprises to meet their full economic potential.
