Rainforest Foundation Norway

About Rainforest Foundation Norway:

We are working for a world where the environment is protected and human rights are fulfilled. Our specific focus is the intersection of these two global concerns. Our main arena is the tropical rainforest of the world.
Our mission: To support indigenous peoples and traditional populations of the world's rainforests in their efforts to protect their environment and fulfill their rights by assisting them in:
  • Securing and controlling the natural resources necessary for their long-term well-being and managing these resources in ways which do not harm their environment, violate their culture or compromise their future; and
  • Developing the means to protect their individual and collective rights and to obtain, shape, and control basic services from the state.
The strategy for 2018–2030 takes it a step further. We will intensify our efforts aimed at getting companies and investors to stop rainforest destruction, and towards authorities for the establishment of national and international frameworks for sustainable rainforest management. The protection of indigenous peoples’ territories will remain a cornerstone of our work.It is also essential to preserve the three remaining large rainforest areas – in the Amazon, Congo Basin and on the island of New Guinea – in order to maintain the earth’s ecosystem services.
We collaborate closely with about 75 local and national environmental, indigenous and human rights organizations in 7 countries in the Amazon region, Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. The core of our approach is to support a strong and vibrant civil society. We, therefore, build long-term partnerships and elaborate shared strategies with legitimate and representative local organizations, with the aim of enhancing their capacity and effectiveness.

We are part of the international Rainforest Foundation network with sister organizations in the United Kingdom and the USA. Rainforest Foundation Norway is a legally and financially independent non-governmental organization, with a highly specialized staff of approximately 80 people, including 8 staff at our DRC country office in Kinshasa.

Our operations are funded by The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI), Rainforest Fund, Ford Foundation, the Norwegian embassy in Indonesia, the Norwegian embassy in Brazil, the Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) telethon 2015 and Good Energies Foundation. In addition, we receive regular donations from corporate partners and the general public.
