If you’re new round here, we’re Cool Earth. We back the best protectors of rainforests: the people who have lived there for generations. But how do we do that? We work directly with Indigenous peoples to protect 887,000 hectares of rainforest, keeping millions of tonnes of carbon locked away.

You've supported @coolearthaction.bsky.social and their fight against global warming. Together, we've helped cool the planet by keeping 89 million trees standing in the Peruvian Amazon, and by supporting 9,740 people in 22 rainforest communities to protect their forests and improve their lives.

We’re in Westminster fighting for rainforest protection. We’ve met with Members of Parliament, calling for a simple but powerful change: for just 1% of UK climate finance to go directly to Indigenous communities protecting rainforests. Learn more about our campaign here: lnkd.in/eTp85Xxs

What a difference one year can make 💚 The women of AMARNO, an Indigenous group in the Amazon, saw the plants and seeds they used for their traditional jewellery were disappearing around them. So, we helped to grow a nursery to revive endangered plants and to protect the future of their craft.

One of the many weird and wonderful creatures that our forest monitors find in the Amazon. This here is a Congompe - a giant snail 🐌 With the help of tablets and GPS devices, the forest monitors can collect data and insights into the rainforest.

Even when it feels like the odds are against us, Earth is always worth fighting for and protecting. #EarthDay is an important reminder of that and of the power we hold when we stand together. Today and every day, we'll be here to support communities, defend the rainforest, and fight climate change ✊

The village of Sololo is nestled in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. 🌳 This region spans 60,000 hectares of rainforest and is home to fewer than 1,000 residents. We work alongside the people of Sololo to help safeguard this precious ecosystem. 💚

Over the last week, our partners CARE Ashaninka have been organising deliveries to those impacted by recent Amazon floods. 8.5 tonnes of essential supplies, like food, bedding and mosquito nets have been delivered to several communities whose homes, farms, and villages have suffered severe damage.

We work in the 3 largest rainforests in the world: 🌳 Image 1 - The Amazon 🍃 Image 2 - The Congo Rainforest 🌴 Image 3 - New Guinea Forest Keeping carbon-capturing rainforests intact can provide 23% of climate mitigation urgently needed to cool our planet, which is why we focus our work here!

Here's some snapshots from recent fire-prevention workshops we run alongside our partners in the Amazon 🌳 The sessions explored fire spread patterns and how cardinal points can improve planning. Plus, we provided PPE and water backpacks to help communities stay prepared & protected from wildfires
