General Info

Rainforest Concern is a Registered Charity in the UK, established to protect threatened natural habitats and the biodiversity they contain, together with the indigenous people who still depend on them for survival.

Rainforest Concern has 18 projects across Central and South America and in Sri Lanka, India and Uganda.

Ecuador
We have 2 projects in Ecuador: the Choco-Andean Corridor, which comprises the Awacachi Corridor, Paso Alto, Santa Lucia and the Intag Watershed project ;and the Gran Sumaco buffer area.

Colombia
We have formed a partnership with Pro Aves to expand our Choco-Andean Corridor project northwards into Colombia and link the Pangan Reserve with the Awa Indigenous Reserve.

We are working with Parques Para Chile on the Namuncahue Biological Corridor to protect and link parcels of araucaria (Monkey Puzzle) forest, and with the Universidad Austral de Valdivia on expanding the Nasampulli Reserve
