Protecting rainforests and our climate in partnership with Indigenous peoples since 1988

[Rainforest Foundation US @RainforestUS]

⚠️ The Amazon, Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia's rainforests are approaching a breaking point.

Cattle ranching, gold mining, and industrial agriculture have long driven deforestation. A new report commissioned by @RainforestNORW highlights how they're not only expanding, but being compounded by emerging demands 👇

[Rainforest Foundation US @RainforestUS]

We appreciate this initiative from S.A.N. (@MycelialOracle) to explore new ways to channel resources toward rainforest protection.

Our focus remains on protecting rainforests in partnership with Indigenous peoples and ensuring that support translates into real impact on the ground.

We’re grateful to be included, thank you.

🚨Wildlife trafficking is a $20 billion global industry pushing many species to the brink of extinction. Indigenous peoples are among the most effective stewards of biodiversity and powerful allies to fight this global crisis.

At Rainforest Foundation US, we’re supporting Indigenous-led monitoring efforts to ensure these turtles and their natural habitats continue to thrive.

[Rainforest Foundation US @RainforestUS]

🐢👏Good news from the Amazon: More than 1,000 baby yellow-spotted and Arrau river turtles have been returned home after being rescued from traffickers.

Last week, our team in Peru participated in the release of 1,092 river turtles into the Indigenous territory of the Yagua people of Yanayacu. Thanks to the community’s ongoing stewardship of their lands, these turtles now have a real chance to survive ✊

🐢🌿 ¡Tortugas amazónicas regresan a su hogar!

El Serfor lidera la liberación de más de mil tortugas, entre taricayas y charapas rescatadas del comercio ilegal, devolviéndolas a su hábitat natural en Loreto, donde cumplen un rol fundamental en el equilibrio de los ecosistemas.

♀️✊Across the world, Indigenous women are organizing for their rights, their communities, and their forests.

In the North Pakaraimas mountains of #Guyana, Surujani Robinson and other Patamona women came together to address the challenges faced by women. Through the Patamasan Protectors of I'na Pata (PPIP), they are advancing women’s leadership, promoting gender equality, and confronting gender-based violence in their communities.

Learn more about Surujani and the women organizing in Guyana in our new story.

Los minerales que impulsan la tecnología y la transición energética también están alimentando minería ilegal y violencia en la Amazonía.
El sur de #Venezuela es uno de los epicentros de esta crisis ambiental y humanitaria

🌱 In 2025, fires in Brazil’s Amazon dropped by 78%, reaching the lowest levels since 2019.

9.5 million acres of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest burned last year, this is roughly 50 times the land area of New York City. While still alarming, this represents a dramatic 78% reduction compared to 2024.
