In order to promote more transparency and maintain the authenticity of the donations made to the Rainforest Foundation, the NEM Group has announced its new partnership with the foundation. This agreement is specifically aimed to help communities living in rainforests and contributing to the fight against deforestation and climate change.
The Rainforest Foundation strives to tackle the climate crisis and menace of deforestation. In addition, the organization is also involved in defending human rights violations across the globe. The foundation is also helping indigenous communities sustain and flourish on their native lands by providing them with monetary assistance.
According to the data that is available with the RFN association, out of the total 14.6 million square kilometers of the total rain forest available on Earth, only 36% remains intact. In 2020, it was a target to reduce deforestation by 50%, although this target was not met as the deforestation continued unabatedly.
