Description

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

The Rainforest Alliance works with farmers, foresters and tourism entrepreneurs to conserve natural resources and ensure the long-term economic health of forest communities. In order for a farm or forestry enterprise to achieve Rainforest Alliance certification, or for a tourism business to be verified, it must meet standards designed to protect ecosystems, safeguard the well-being of local communities and improve productivity. The Rainforest Alliance then links these farmers, foresters and tourism businesses to conscientious consumers through the green frog seal.

Objectives - Keeping forests standing;

- Curbing climate change; - Protecting biodiversity; - Alleviating poverty; - Transforming business practices.

Activities Through training, certification and verification, the Rainforest Alliance and its partners are helping communities and businesses to keep forests standing, plant new trees, earn sustainable livelihoods and adapt to changing climatic conditions.
