Rainforest Saver is a UK based charity whose main aim is to prevent tropical deforestation and alleviate poverty by regenerating soil and increasing agricultural yield.
We are a small charity and only pay local project leaders in each country to work directly with the farmers, initially providing them with Inga seedlings where necessary, teaching them the system and thus empowering them. We have arrived at a place where we need to expand and share this inspiring work with more people.
Help us save rainforests, capture carbon to limit climate change, regenerate soil, and reduce hunger.
Working in Africa and South and Central America we have assisted local people to grow more food without burning patches of forest for short-term fertility (Slash and burn farming), or the use of expensive and toxic agrochemicals. This support also stops them cutting down intact rainforest for firewood and restores land compacted by cattle.
We have had great success through a process of agroforestry. Inga trees grown in alleys build new soil between them. This fertile soil enables food to be grown on degraded land where once it was almost impossible.
