Founded in 2007, Cool Earth works to reduce deforestation in the three largest rainforests in the world. Cool Earth believes the best way to do this is by supporting the Indigenous peoples and local communities who have lived in balance with rainforests for thousands of years.

Backing the people that live in the rainforest and recognising and respecting their rights is essential in fighting the climate crisis. Indigenous peoples climate knowledge and rich history of living in rainforests ensure the best carbon sinks on earth can stay that way.

That's why Cool Earth has pioneered an unconditional cash transfer model to support those living in the rainforest against threats to their lands and rights. They give cash directly to communities to fund projects that create choice, tackle the root causes of deforestation, and protect the Earth's vital carbon capturing rainforests. In fact, 82% less rainforest is lost in Cool Earth's partnerships than in surrounding areas.
