For more than 30 years, OroVerde - Tropical Forest Foundation has been working for intact tropical forests worldwide. In tropical forest conservation projects, OroVerde links nature conservation and development cooperation so that forest conservation and sustainable development go hand in hand. With educational work and knowledge transfer OroVerde demonstrates, what citizens, politics and businesses can contribute to the conservation of the forests and initiates a change towards a sustainable society. Through recommendations for action and campaigns, OroVerde also influences political frameworks and legislation for the conservation of tropical forests.

There are many causes of tropical forest destruction. Therefore, we use different levers to protect the tropical rainforests. You can find a selection of interesting rainforest protection projects on site here:
