Rainforest protection is not a profit machine: Stop the TFFF!

Dear friends of the rainforests,

Together with 50,000 Indigenous people, environmentalists, and human rights defenders, we took to the streets in Belém, Brazil. The people around us spoke many languages – but they all voiced the same demand:

We need real and just climate action.

The People’s Summit, held alongside the global climate conference COP30, brought together activists from around the world and left us inspired and energized. Once again, we experienced how essential our networks are and how strong our partners remain – many of whom joined us in Belém. The warmth, hospitality, and joy of life we encountered in Brazil deeply moved us.

The official COP30 conference, in contrast, told quite a different story:

The fate of the world’s rainforests is being gambled away. At COP30 in Belém, governments launched the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) – a scheme that turns living forests into a financial product. Billions in public money will secure investor profits, while Indigenous forest defenders receive only cents per hectare, and the projects funded can still drive logging, mining, and agribusiness.

This is a dangerous diversion from real solutions. Tropical forests are our last line of defense for the climate and home to millions of people who protect them with their lives.

Together with 240 organizations, Rainforest Rescue is raising the alarm: Stop the TFFF. Rainforest protection is not a profit machine.

Please add your voice now and sign our petition to tell governments and the UN: Forests are not Wall Street assets – they are life.

TAKE ACTION

Thanks for being involved,

John Hayduska

COP30

Voices from the front lines

The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), an investment fund introduced at the COP30 global climate conference, claims to support rainforest protection. However, many Indigenous groups and environmentalists dispute this, arguing that it promotes financialization and profit rather than true conservation.
