The simple idea behind Cool Earth is that rainforests are worth much more to the human race left standing, helping to cool the planet, than they are cut down for timber or burnt to clear land for cattle ranching.
Cool Earth is a non-profit organisation that works alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation and climate change.
Cool Earth partnerships are located in countries around the tropics where the threat to the forest is greatest, on the verge of intensive deforestation.
Each partnership is different, working with communities who want to protect the forest in which they live. Local people decide what they need most and how funds are spent – everything from cacao production to literacy programmes and beekeeping.
Each decision is made to find the best ways to protect forest, ensure reliable incomes and improve the communities resilience to climate breakdown.
Building sustainable livelihoods ensures they earn more from keeping the forest standing than they would otherwise earn from clearing it.
Better health, better education and better livelihoods all lead to forest kept standing.
