Help Rainforest Alliance Protect the Rights of Indigenous Communities

Photo credit: Sergio Izquierdo

As a member of our alliance, we'll send you inspiring stories from our partnerships with Indigenous communities across the world. You will also receive critical insights into our work to transform systems from within. Together we will embark on a journey toward a world where nature and people thrive in harmony.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Indigenous and local communities manage almost a quarter of the world’s lands—and that means they care for an astonishing 80 percent of Earth’s biodiversity.

And no one stewards the land better: Research showed that in a twelve-year period, the annual deforestation rates inside tenured Indigenous forestlands across the Amazon were 2-3 times lower than outside of them.

Yet, as effective as Indigenous people are at protecting forests, their rights are frequently under assault.

Indigenous leadership is crucial to achieve a resilient climate future. That’s why the Rainforest Alliance partners with Indigenous communities around the world to help promote human rights and build thriving rural livelihoods that nurture the lands and forests we all depend on.

Join the Rainforest Alliance today to protect the rights of Indigenous and local communities.
