Forests are allies in our fight against climate change, but they’re past critical breaking points, losing 17% of the Amazon already. At 20–25%, they risk tipping into unlivable savannah. The stakes are enormous and time is short.

Our campaign aims to change that, raising $200M to support community-led conservation across 30 million hectares.
