About us
We’re Cool Earth. We exist to champion the relationship between people, rainforest and climate. We raise and give cash directly, and partner with indigenous people and local communities on projects that tackle the root causes of deforestation. Right now the world is in a climate crisis. People have lived in balance with forest for thousands of years. The real rainforest experts, now face extreme injustice whilst living on the front line of the climate crisis. The most effective way to fight back is to protect the best carbon-storing technology that already exists: rainforest. And the best way to do that? Back, support and listen to the people living there with Cool Earth.

In the areas we work, 99% of rainforest is kept intact thanks to the Indigenous communities that live there. 🌳 Whether it be through providing unconditional cash transfers, technology to monitor forest health, or support for income generating projects in the rainforest, our approach is making a real difference. Now is the moment to stand with Indigenous peoples in protecting their forest homes and preserving some of the world's largest carbon sinks. Plus, if you donate in December to Cool Earth, your gift will be doubled meaning you can have twice the impact! https://lnkd.in/gdsXUcm5

Living in balance with the rainforest is vital for Indigenous peoples. 🌳 Our partners, ONAMIAP and OMIAASEC, are working to reforest native species within Indigenous rainforest territories. Protecting the rainforest is vital for preserving ancestral knowledge, safeguarding cultural identity, and ensuring a sustainable food source for the Indigenous communities who call it their home. Native species once threatened by climate change are now being restored in key communal areas, including borders and springs, to support both biodiversity and community resilience. 💚

Thanks to your support, forest fires in our Ashaninka partner areas in the Amazon have dropped by 96% compared to last year! 🚨 We've been working alongside our partners Central Asháninka Río Ene to train 300 community fire monitors, teaching people about early warning signs and strategies to keep their communities safe from wildfires. This training combines Indigenous knowledge with modern tools like satellite mapping, drones, and GPS, so that fire monitors can now track their territories and identify potential hazard zones. Remember, all donations are doubled this December. You can help us train even more people and protect more rainforest next year by doubling your impact! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/eDxTaiAW https://lnkd.in/eDxTaiAW

It’s not just trees that we're protecting in the rainforest. 🌳 Our work with communities helps to preserve 8 key biodiversity hotspots, home to animals like the African Forest Elephant in the Congo, the Tree Kangaroo in Papua New Guinea and the Giant Otter in the Amazon rainforest. 🐘 This December, help us protect twice as many species! Any donation made this month will be DOUBLED. 💚 Donate now:https://lnkd.in/gT5mv3RM

The side of rainforest conservation that you don't normally see. This is what transferring tools and supplies to communities in the New Guinea Forest can look like ⛵️ Our team in Papua New Guinea and the local community of Wabumari have been carefully moving and installing state-of-the-art solar panels and equipment for the brand new Rainforest Lab built there.
