About TRC
Tropical Rainforest Coalition [TRC] believes that individuals can make a difference. Looking back, we can say we have. Established in 1991 during World Rainforest Week, TRC is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization that has made a significant impact on the preservation of rainforests and indigenous people. TRC builds coalitions between individuals, corporations, businesses, learning institutions and non-governmental organizations seeking to reverse the unsustainable use of the rainforests.
Our Mission
To preserve tropical rainforest ecosystems, their indigenous people and cultures at the local level through enabling volunteerism and through community education, and at the international level through technical and financial support for recognized organizations involved in the conservation of tropical rainforests.
Our Accomplishments:
• Funding and managing land purchase efforts through the Save-an-Acre program and other fundraising projects.
• Developing low-impact eco-tourism programs that involve indigenous cooperatives.
• Promoting Environmental Awareness and Education from science and nature education for children of all ages to the coordination of Earth Day and National Rainforest Week events.
• Maintaining the Tropical Bird Rescue program for mistreated and abandoned birds.
Projects
Tropical Rainforest Coalition supports several ongoing rainforest conservation projects throughout the world. TRC recognizes that rainforest preservation means more then just buying acres. As a result, TRC funds three different categories of projects to make the most efficient use of your donations. Unless specially requested for specific project by the donor, donations will be allocated to the projects of TRC`s choosing based on many criteria including urgency, accountability, sustainability, and last date of previous funding. Each project is color coded with the applicable funding goal[s].
* The Rainforest Growth Fund seeks habitat sustainability through research, ecotourism, community participation and education.
* Save-an-Acre focuses on acquisition of forest lands for preservation. This funding covers legal and land title fees.
* Save-a-Species focuses on programs that foster the protection of endangered species of animals or plants through breeding, research, and community programs.
