<h2>Protect the World's Forests</h2>
<p>Forests provide homes and habitat for countless plant and animal species as well as for Indigenous communities. They also serve as a key defense against global warming by storing massive amounts of carbon.</p>
<p>RAN’s Tropical Forests Program supports alternatives and solutions that address underlying causes of deforestation and degradation.</p>
<p>In addition to global warming, the greatest threats to rainforests and forest peoples include industrial agribusiness, resource extraction, poor governance, illegal logging and the failure to recognize and respect rights of forest peoples. Our programs work to address these threats through market based campaigns that target prominent corporations, illuminating destructive global supply chains and increasing responsibility and transparency in the marketplace.</p>
