Recent studies add to the growing body of evidence that Indigenous peoples are better protectors of their forests than governments or industry. Protect An Acre grants support grassroots leadership and local organizations in forest regions to protect threatened forest lands and to protect the human rights of communities that have coexisted with and depended on these regions for generations.

With your support, grassroots organizations can launch successful land title initiatives, create powerful community education programs, develop sustainable economic alternatives and build lasting grassroots resistance to destructive industrial activities.

Donate to Protect an Acre. RAN estimates that each of our staff members is responsible for an average of 5 tons of CO2 per year for their work-related activities, including travel and resource consumption. Instead of purchasing carbon credits to offset this climate impact, RAN has calculated relevant dollar amounts for this carbon footprint, and commits these funds to empower frontline communities to keep fossil fuels in the ground where they belong.

CAF supports local communities and activists across the globe who are the key players in directly challenging the source of climate change and getting lasting results. In their efforts to stop new carbon-emitting projects and to shut down old ones, these communities are protecting their livelihoods against polluting industries and fighting to secure a clean energy future for everyone. And your support to this program can have a huge impact — these groups are on the frontlines of efforts to stop the largest, dirtiest, and most carbon intensive industries, and many of them are volunteer-based and have very few resources.

Reducing Deforestation for Palm Oil Expansion Over the past year, RAN has made major progress on both sides of the palm oil supply chain: production and consumption.

Firstly, they have received commitments from several major palm oil companies to improve their practices, including: PT Dua Perkasa Lestari has committed to no new land clearing in its concession in Tripa peatland.

PT Agra Bumi Niaga has committed to set aside 7, hectares of important lowland rainforests for conservation adjacent to the new Sumatran rhino sanctuary in Aceh Timur. Most of that area had been zoned for conversion to palm plantations and forestry.

Permata Hijau group has confirmed suspension of problematic producers and committed to improve NDPE compliance systems. Musim Mas, a supplier of palm oil, developed a stratedy to achieve NDPE implementation across their supply shed, and implemented interventions that protect lowland rainforests and peatlands from palm oil expansion.

Several suppliers adopted No-Buy policies for conflict palm oil mills, and required other mills to invest in adequate traceability and NDPE compliance. In , RAN received the following commitments from these brands: Unilever revised its suspended supplier list and its grievance tracker to include new producers that were exposed for clearing rainforests.

PepsiCo and Unilever established cooperative forest monitoring systems in June , which send alerts about deforestation.
