Rainforest Organizations

Africa

Cameroon

Cameroon Wildlife Conservation Society (CWCS) "is a lead national environment NGO in Cameroon founded in February 1997. The organisation’s head office is in Yaoundé. CWCS is administered by a board of directors with more than 100 registered members comprising environment experts, young conservation professionals and students."
Rainforest Trust "is working with local partner, Cameroon Wildlife Conservation Society (CWCS), to elevate the protected status of Douala-Edea Wildlife Reserve to a national park while increasing the reserve by 375,303 acres of mangrove forests, rivers, wetlands and marine habitats. Collectively, this expansion and conversion to a national park will actively safeguard a total of 741,000 acres."

Democratic Republic of Congo

Rainforest Foundation Norway "It is important to save all rainforests. However, to solve the nature and climate crises, size matters. That is why Rainforest Foundation Norway focuses on the three largest, contiguous rainforests left on the planet – in South America, Central Africa and Southeast Asia & Oceania."

Guinea

Rainforest Trust "and our partner, The Wild Chimpanzee Foundation, are working with the government of Guinea and local communities to create the 560,512-acre Pinselli-Soyah-Sabouyah National Park. The new park will connect to the adjacent Outamba-Kilimi National Park (182,364 acres) to the south in Sierra Leone to create a vast wildlife corridor for wide-roaming species like the elephant."

Tanzania

Rainforest Trust "is working with local partner Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) to purchase 3,030 acres for the creation of the new Magombera Nature Reserve."

Asia

Rainforest Foundation Norway "It is important to save all rainforests. However, to solve the nature and climate crises, size matters. That is why Rainforest Foundation Norway focuses on the three largest, contiguous rainforests left on the planet – in South America, Central Africa and Southeast Asia & Oceania."

Borneo

Borneo Nature Foundation "Our mission is to protect, maintain and enhance the rainforests of Borneo, the biodiversity found within and the benefits that these provide for people. Our research is essential to help us understand these complex ecosystems and the wildlife that depends upon them so that we can develop the best strategies to conserve them.

Forests across Borneo are home to many critically endangered species, flora and fauna, but they are disappearing rapidly. Forest fires and clearance for plantations and agriculture are destroying vital habitat. Logging, mining and encroachment by the ever-expanding human population are threatening the forests that provide important ecosystem services to local communities.

We work with these communities to develop sustainable livelihoods, and support Social Forestry initiatives that empower communities to manage their forests and protect natural resources for the future."

UK

Lost Rainforests of Britain
Plantlife "British temperate rainforests are of global importance, having the greatest concentration of oceanic lichens and mosses in Europe, they are rare habitats. Plantlife is working to protect their long-term future."
The National Trust "own and manage a range of temperate rainforest sites, including in Devon (Teign Valley /Fingle Woods, Holne Woods) and particularly in the Lake District (Borrowdale)."
The Thousand Year Trust "is the only charity in the UK dedicated to the restoration of our temperate rainforest landscapes. Our name is inspired by the longevity of the Sessile oak, a paramount species in our rainforests. These beautiful trees can take 300 years to grow, can live and thrive for over 400 years and can take 300 years to slowly die, rot and return their goodness to the soil. We believe that if we are truly to heal our natural habitats, we need to think like an oak tree – over a thousand-year timespan."
The Wildlife Trusts "are working with others to restore and expand our temperate rainforests."
Woodland Trust "Rainforests are one of the most biodiverse habitats in the UK. The high humidity and low temperature range create the perfect conditions for moisture-loving lichens and bryophytes (mosses and liverworts).

A good example of this habitat could contain over 200 different species of bryophytes and 100-200 species of lichen. The UK has an international responsibility to protect many of these species due to their scarce global distribution."

England

Moor Trees "is a Dartmoor-based charity that plants trees around the edges of the moor; check out its vision for the future of Dartmoor."
Wild Haweswater "is a project run by the RSPB and United Utilities to protect and restore a large area of the Lake District, including fragments of temperate rainforest."

Scotland

Alliance for Scotland's Rainforest "aims to establish and fund a series of landscape-scale projects across the rainforest zone, which urgently need funding and support."
National Trust for Scotland "is a member of the Alliance for Scotland’s Rainforest, a voluntary partnership of 20 organisations with a shared interest in ‘Saving Scotland’s Rainforest’. The group’s vision is to see Scotland’s rainforest thrive once again. In May 2019 the Alliance launched ‘The State of Scotland’s Rainforest’ – a report that clearly outlines the danger this habitat is in and what we need to do to save it."

Wales

Celtic Rainforests Wales is a project aiming to restore temperate rainforest over four locations in Mid- and North Wales.
LIFE Celtic Rainforests Project "is a conservation project led by Snowdonia National Park Authority and other partners working within the National Park.
