WORLD LAND AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION: SINCE 1988, RAINFOREST TRUST HAS SUPPORTED THE CREATION OF ALMOST 40,000,000 ACRES OF PROTECTED AND CONSERVED AREAS IN THE TROPICS AND SUBTROPICS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS WHICH YIELD GOVERNMENT DESIGNATION OF NEW PROTECTED AREAS, THE PURCHASE OF LAND FOR PRIVATE NATURE RESERVES, AND STRENGTHENING LAND-TENURE AND GUARDIANSHIP OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS WORK YIELDS THREE AREAS OF IMPACT: ENDING THE BIODIVERSITY CRISIS BY SLOWING AND REVERSING THE EXTINCTION OF SPECIES, STEMMING CLIMATE CHANGE BY PERMANENTLY LOCKING UP CARBON AND PROTECTING NATURE'S ABILITY TO SEQUESTER CARBON FROM THE ATMOSPHERE, AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE RIGHTS AND LIVELIHOODS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. FOR SPECIES: RAINFOREST TRUST RESERVES CURRENTLY PROVIDE CRITICAL HABITAT FOR 38% OF ALL IUCN RED LIST THREATENED TERRESTRIAL MAMMAL SPECIES AND 31% OF THREATENED TERRESTRIAL BIRDS. FOR CLIMATE: RAINFOREST TRUST PROJECTS HAVE PERMANENTLY LOCKED UP 9.8 BILLION METRIC TONS OF CO2 EQUIVALENT, EQUAL TO THE ENTIRETY OF US EMISSIONS OVER 2 YEARS. FOR PEOPLE: APPROXIMATELY 40% OF RAINFOREST TRUST PROJECTS HAVE DELIVERED OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT RIGHTS TO INDIGENOUS OR LOCAL PEOPLE, AND RAINFOREST TRUST PROJECTS HAVE PROVIDED JOBS, LIVELIHOOD BENEFITS, AND THE SAFEGUARDING OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES SUCH AS FRESH WATER TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
