Tell the UK: Why Does Rainforest Protection Matter?

Share why forests matter to you and urge the UK to step up and fund rainforest protection and nature-based solutions.

What to know:

• The survival of tropical rainforests is connected to the survival of all of us.
• Indigenous and local people are the best forest protectors but they receive little to no funding.
• Share your message to the UK to fund and support local communities to protect the world's most important forests.

Forests are essential for life. They absorb carbon, safeguard biodiversity, and sustain communities worldwide. Yet every year, millions of hectares are lost to deforestation, driving climate change and threatening vulnerable populations.

The UK has a key role to play. As a major importer, it can help curb deforestation through strong supply chain laws. As a global leader, it can increase funding to protect rainforests and support Indigenous and local communities. 

Your voice matters. By sharing why forests are important to you, you’ll help show UK leaders that citizens everywhere are calling for action to protect forests and nature — for our planet, our future, and generations to come.
