Current Projects
Rainforest Trust focuses on saving real acres of rainforest through land purchases and designations. Each of our projects has been identified as crucial to preserving critical habitat for endangered species. This is a list of all projects our conservation team is currently developing. If a project in this section is marked as Active, we have gathered all the donations we need, but our work to complete the project and ensure protection into perpetuity is still ongoing.
