RCF UPDATE
Building on Success: 2010
Expanding our Activities into the New Decade
During the last two years we have been building upon our success by both expanding our work area and the number and types of projects that RCF funds. Since 2008 we have increased the number and scope of our projects with other communities and institutions in different areas of the Peruvian Amazon.
For some key examples of our progress, achievements and goals during 2008-2010, click below to see an illustrated report to our members and supporters:

Of course, you don’t have to be an RCF member or contributor to see this report, but we hope you will consider joining us in our efforts.
As always, RCF remains vigilant in its efforts to conserve biodiversity and protect indigenous cultures in the Amazon. For all the gains we have made in the last two years, new threats will emerge. The search for petroleum and biofuel crop plantations now pose enormous threats to the Amazon – these threats will not go away. We are very grateful for your support, and hope that you will continue to join us in our efforts!

Take a Survey, Plant a Tree
Online marketing research company involves millions of members in helping save the rainforest.

While business is typically seen as part of the problem, an innovative marketing research company (Hotspex), today announced a new initiative that will mobilize millions of its online members to plant palm trees in the Peruvian Amazon.
This initiative, launched by Hotspex earlier this month, is in partnership with the Rainforest Conservation Fund (RCF), and aims to plant a tree for every survey taken by the Hotspex Panel of Innovators – millions of consumers who are interested in what’s going on around them.
