Tropical forests are the lungs of our planet. They store vast amounts of biodiversity and carbon, make rainwater, provide food, fuel and medicines, as well as being home to hundreds of human cultures. Rainforest Alliance works with communities in and around forests to conserve biodiversity and improve livelihoods. They use a market-driven approach to achieve conservation at the landscape scale.
