The Rainforest Foundation US Summer Auction

In 1989, Sting and Trudie Styler founded The Rainforest Foundation in response to a direct request for help from a Kayapo Indian leader in Brazil who was seeking to protect his peoples' land and culture.The organization's initial project led to a role coordinating the first ever privately funded demarcation of Indian land in the region.Since that time, the Rainforest Foundation has grown into a network of organizations working in a dozen countries around the globe. In 1996, the Rainforest Foundation established independent offices in New York, Oslo and London, as well as the Rainforest Foundation Fund.

Over the past several years, RF US has implemented innovative projects in partnership with grassroots organizations in Latin America. Our staff works with partner organizations in the rainforest to help indigenous communities to gain fundamental human rights, map their territories and file claims for land title, lobby for enforcement of laws and policy reforms, develop local sustainable development initiatives and monitor and manage natural resources.
