Rainforest News is an independent natural forest observatory. Our aim is to protect the world's natural forests. Forests are the air, the soil, the climate.
Without the forests, indigenous peoples have no home, animal species become extinct, the climate gets hot, soils become desert.
Without the forests, none of us has any future.
The natural forests are disappearing, threatened by unscrupulous companies looking for natural resources such as wood, minerals and crops for the international markets.
It's not too late. We are still time to save them. In distant lands, all over the world, forest peoples are fighting to protect their world and our future. Environmental organizations, indigenous peoples, villagers, local communities, human rights groups, scientist, unions, peasant associations...
Rainforest News disseminate their voice and their studies. It analyzes the causes of forest destruction, and promotes innovative proposals for a responsible use, in order to explore creative approaches and new models of development, fully respectful of forests, the life they host, the forest communities and their social values.
Rainforest News is part of international networks such as Taiga Rescue Network, Forest Movement Europe, Global Forest Coalition and the Shrink campaign.

Green film
Green Film, il respiro della foresta. Il film racconta attraverso i ricordi di un orango in fin di vita, l'eccezionale vitalità delle foreste pluviali dell'Indonesia, e l'avanzare della loro distruzione per fare spazio alle piantagioni di acacia e palma da olio, per la produzione di carta e biodiesel. Immagini forti e poetiche di una tragedia dimenticata.
