COVID-19 EMERGENCY CONSERVATION FUND   UPDATE

Last year, COVID-19 circled the globe causing hardship and death. Rainforest Trust’s field based partners saw rising threats in the reserves, including poaching and logging. We asked for your help to ensure our conservation work would not falter, and you responded and made a gift to the COVID-19 Emergency Conservation Fund. Together, we achieved the following:


  • In Guatemala, FUNDAECO has been working to establish protection to the Maya Forest. When the pandemic caused hardship on local communities, they looked to the natural resources in the forest reserves. To prevent this and keep communities healthy, FUNDAECO distributed masks, food, personal hygiene supplies and important COVID safety information.
  • The Bura East Conservancy was established in Kenya by Rainforest Trust and Hirola Conservation in 2016 to save the Critically Endangered Hirola from extinction. Your support helped increase patrols and surveillance. Now, our efforts are paying off. Recently, while monitoring herds, rangers came across a newborn Hirola. Since the species is so rare, a new birth is a hopeful sign for the future.
  • In Nepal, Red Panda Network continued their forest patrols and deployed camera traps to record illegal activities and monitor biodiversity. Recently, they learned their protection is working after capturing footage of the rare and elusive Vulnerable Clouded Leopard in one of their reserves.


Thanks in part to you, our partners were able to meet new challenges head on.


For many of us the vaccine has restored “normal” in our lives. But not in the Global South where access to vaccines is limited; COVID-19 continues to stretch resources and put new pressures on fragile ecosystems.

Rainforest Trust will continue to accept gifts to the COVID-19 Emergency Conservation Fund to help our partners continue to meet emerging needs. Please, continue to stand with us as we create a safer future for our reserves and endangered species.

WHY SAVE RAINFOREST?

70% of the known cancer fighting plants exist only in the rainforest.

Deforestation releases as much carbon as the entire global transportation sector each year.

Nearly 70,000 acres of tropical rainforest are lost every day.

The majority of the world’s plants and animals are found in rainforests.

Protecting the most threatened tropical forests.

Our unique, cost-effective conservation model for protecting endangered species has been implemented successfully for over 30 years. Protection requires swift action, and we implement scientifically-based conservation plans that are not only timely, but also resilient and sustainable. With your support, we work tirelessly to permanently protect rainforests and other vital habitat throughout the world.
