			=== Who we are ===
			The rainforest is a home, a habitat, a shelter, a pharmacy, a supermarket and an ecosystem that supports many lives and livelihoods. For the indigenous people and animals that inhabit it, the rainforest is everything. Yet most forest dependent people are unable to defend the lands on which they live from forest destruction, land theft and resource exploitation. The Rainforest Foundation UK aims to change this.

			At RFUK, we tackle deforestation locally and globally. Locally, we help forest communities to gain land rights, challenge logging companies, manage their forests and protect their environment. Globally, we campaign to influence national and international laws to protect rainforests and their inhabitants.

			Our approach differs from that of other organisations in that it is committed to both human rights and environmental protection. Instead of purchasing land or conserving forests purely for their biodiversity value, the RFUK promotes the establishment of community rights over rainforest lands, tackling the root of the problems related to deforestation and paving the way for local people to benefit fairly from the use and protection of forest resources.


			Indigenous peoples' participation as well as their knowledge of the local ecology are now recognised as the most effective way of protecting the environment. We have been helping indigenous and local communities to protect millions of hectares of rainforest over the last 28 years and we will continue empowering forest people to secure lands and sustain lives for future generations.

	The Rainforest Foundation was founded in 1989 by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, after they saw first-hand the destruction of the Amazon rainforests, and the devastating impact it had on the lives of the indigenous peoples who lived there.

	The Foundation's first major initiative was to campaign for the protection of the lands of the Kayapo Indians in Brazilian Amazonia. This resulted in 1993 in the legal recognition and demarcation of an area of more than 27,359 square kilometers.

These organisations directly support projects~~ in ~~more than 20~~ countries ~~that~~ protect ~~tropical rainforests~~ and the people that ~~live~~ in ~~them~~.		The threat of deforestation far from over. In the next 30 years the world will need to clear around 200 million hectares of land for farming, fuel production and fibre production which will predominately originate from the rainforest in developing countries. The search is on for resources from oil to minerals, particularly in South America and the Congo basin which has led to the development of new large scale infrastructure such as ports, railways, new roads and pipelines which has the potential to fragment habitats. Governments are eager to tap into these resources to develop their economies; however this comes at the cost of displacing indigenous communities from their ancestral lands.

			The rainforests are the single largest repository of biodiversity on earth; we are still unaware what benefits are hidden in the forest in terms of new medicines, food products and new species. More importantly, the rainforest is what 50 million people call home.

			We hope that, in the future, deforestation will have ceased in all major tropical forest regions; the Congo Basin countries will have adopted and enforced legislation to protect indigenous peoples’ rights and in South American forested countries, these peoples’ rights to choose their own form of development and governance will be fully respected. Ultimately we want to provide innovative solutions for the people who depend upon the rainforest for the next 25 years and beyond so that these communities have the appropriate capacity to defend their forest and no longer need our assistance.

			Our values encapsulate everything we do:

			* Experience-We collate our experience and knowledge in this field and use our unique understanding/perspective of issues facing traditional and forest peoples which enables us to be ahead of the curve.
			* Passion- We care about the rainforest and the people who depend upon the for survival
			* Innovation- We actively seek out and apply new technologies, methods and concepts that help us deliver our mission
			* Integrity- Securing lands and Sustaining lives is at the heart of everything we do and we make no secret of it
			* Collaboration- We establish and maintain effective, long standing, mutually beneficial partnerships.

===About Us===
Every year an area of rainforest the size of England and Wales is cut down.

This leaves local people homeless, drives animals and plants to extinction and releases more CO2 emissions, which cause climate change, than all of the world’s planes, trains and cars.

Tropical deforestation is an issue that affects us all.

The Rainforest Foundation tackles deforestation locally and globally. Locally it helps forest communities to gain land rights, challenge logging companies and manage forests for their own wellbeing and protection of their environment. Globally it campaigns to influence national and international laws to protect rainforests and their inhabitants.

Since it was founded in 1989 the Rainforest Foundation has helped indigenous and local communities to protect more than 100,000 square kilometers of rainforest .

===Our Mission Statement===
The mission of the Rainforest Foundation UK is to support indigenous peoples and traditional populations of the world's rainforest in their efforts to protect their environment and fulfil their rights to land, life and livelihood by assisting them in:

1. Securing and controlling the natural resources necessary for their long term well being and managing these resources in ways which do not harm their environment, violate their culture or compromise their future.
2. Developing means to protect their individual and collective rights and obtain, shape and control basic services from the state.

===In The Beginning===
The Rainforest Foundation was founded in 1989 by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, after they saw first-hand the destruction of the Amazon rainforests, and the devastating impact it had on the lives of the indigenous peoples who lived there.

The Foundation's first major initiative was to campaign for the protection of the lands of the Kayapo Indians in Brazilian Amazonia. This resulted in 1993 in the legal recognition and demarcation of an area of more than 27,359 square kilometers.

Over the last 20 years the Foundation has expanded and diversified. Today there is the New York-based Rainforest Foundation Fund, which is generously backed by Sting. This provides funding, over USD 1.5 million in 2007, for three autonomous organisations - Rainforest Foundation US, Rainforest Foundation Norway, Rainforest Foundation UK. These organisations directly support projects in more than 20 countries that protect tropical rainforests and the people that live in them.

===A Different Approach===
The Rainforest Foundation's approach differs from that of other organisations in that it is committed to both human rights and environmental protection.

Early attempts at environmental conservation often excluded local populations and sometimes resulted in forced expulsion from their traditional lands.

From the start the Rainforest Foundation believed that the best way to protect the rainforests is to let the indigenous people who have inhabited the areas for centuries control and manage the land.

Indigenous peoples' participation and their knowledge of the local ecology are now recognised as the most effective environmental management tools. Not only does it support practical projects in tropical rainforest areas, the Rainforest Foundation carries out international advocacy campaigns.

Experience has proven that the combination of practical work and lobbying, all of which is based on local experience, is the most powerful tool for lasting change.
