The Prince's Rainforests Project (PRP) was set up in 2007 by HRH The Prince of Wales following reports from leading climate change experts, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to promote awareness of the urgent need to take action against tropical deforestation. The PRP's work is focused on two very specific aims. The first is to raise awareness of the damaging effects of deforestation for everyone. The second is to identify appropriate incentives that will encourage Rainforests nations to stop burning down vast areas of valuable forests.

Survival is the only worldwide movement for tribal peoples whose lives, lands and livelihoods are threatened.
Throughout Africa, Asia and beyond, tribal peoples face challenges to their land and welfare from mining, cattle ranchers, missionaries and other intruders bringing violence and disease.
For almost 40 years, we have brought attention to their situations, supported their struggles and given them a platform to convey their message. We have supported court cases, launched massive media stories and carried out high-profile protests with great success.
Our work has led to the demarcation of tribal reserves, the abandonment of oil exploration projects and a far greater global awareness of the issue. All this happens independently of governmental or corporate sponsorship, thanks to our supporters.
We work towards a world where tribal peoples have their land rights respected, their human rights upheld and the opportunity to decide their futures.

Rainforest Concern was established in 1993 to protect threatened natural habitats, the biodiversity they contain and the indigenous people who still depend on them for their survival. At present the organisation has 16 conservation projects largely based in South America. We work closely with local conservation organisations in these countries to protect rainforests.
Central to Rainforest Concern's philosophy is the establishment of strong partnerships with small yet dynamic organisations in the countries where it operates. Such long-term partnerships have repeatedly shown to result in the continued success of projects.
Our conservation work falls into four categories:
Direct conservation involving the protection and management of forested land to create protected reserves.
Programmes of alternative income generation, health and education are developed with the local communities living near the projects. These are designed to reduce the negative human impact on forests.
Research in biodiversity is encouraged. Scientists and students from national and international universities have undertaken and continue to undertake research at several of our projects.
We also have well established volunteer programmes. These include groups of gap year students as well as mature volunteers who work on projects that include tree planting, trail maintenance and data collection.
We cannot afford to stand by any longer and watch rainforests be burnt to the ground for cattle ranching, or removed to make way for oil and mineral mining.
It is estimated that, if we do not change our course of action, there will not be any rainforests remaining in 50 years time - that's in your lifetime! Many people make excuses for destroying forests but the fact is that, once they are destroyed, countless species of plants and animals will be killed with many species being lost forever.
Indigenous people, who have depended upon the forests for hundreds of years, will lose their homes and means of survival and will have nothing once the forests are gone.
