Forest Conservation Fund
We are a Swiss not-for-profit Foundation which connects companies and consumers to conservation projects in tropical forest landscapes. The FCF identifies local conservation partners where forests are being lost to cocoa, coffee, palm oil, coconut, soy, and rubber plantations, and links them to financial support from brands and individuals buying commodities there, to ensure that the forests remain standing. Launched in June 2020, FCF works with local community organizations, nonprofits and private landholders in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Brazil, Malaysia, and Peru to protect over 100,000 hectares of rainforest.
