If the Earth’s ecosystems are to help maintain climate stability and to go on providing essential food, water, and habitat for plants and wildlife—along with secure and dignified livelihoods for rural people—then we must take action on an unprecedented scale. That’s why the Rainforest Alliance is driving sustainability transformation beyond individual farms or forests and across whole landscapes, spanning tens of thousands to millions of hectares.
This page features information about the Rainforest Alliance's work in tropical landscapes and links to all content and resources related to integrated landscape management.
Taking what’s known as an “Integrated Landscape Management” approach, we build dynamic landscape partnerships that enable all land users: farmers, forest enterprises, rural communities, local leaders, companies, and governments to tackle together complex and often interconnected challenges that are too big to be taken on alone—from climate change and deforestation to human rights and rural poverty.
