The Rainforest Foundation US currently supports partners in Belize, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, Nicaragua, and Panama to defend their rights to their traditional lands and to protect and preserve their natural resources. Within these areas, the Rainforest Foundation provides project-related grants and direct technical assistance to indigenous and local partners. Projects are aimed at fulfilling specific local priorities - such as mapping land for demarcation, lobbying for stronger rights legislation or developing land management plans - while, at the same time, strengthening indigenous institutions' ability to advance their own agendas.
